-The book can serve as a textbook in any discipline where a systematic course on optimization techniques is considered necessary.
-It can also be used as a reference book for research scholars as well as for specialists working in optimization related problems.
-Algorithmic forms of the optimization techniques have been given which can be easily implemented on computers.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The book titled is based on optimization techniques and O.R. related courses for undergraduate and postgraduate engineering and mathematics students of various universities as well as for researchers working on optimization problems.
The main objective of the book is to acquaint and familiarize the readers with different types of optimization techniques, solving optimization problems, implementing computational techniques, abstracting mathematical results and proofs etc.
The book gives a clear appreciation and good grasp over most of the currently available optimization techniques. Each method developed has been illustrated with solved examples. A set of exercises for self practice is given at the end of each chapter. A set of brief answer review questions relating to the finer detail of the topics discussed in each chapter preceding the set of exercises has been added to facilitate learning and enhance the value of the book.
