Nonlinear Programming: Theory And Algorithms

Nonlinear Programming: Theory and Algorithms

Nonlinear Programming: Theory and Algorithms—now inan extensively updated Third Edition—addresses the problem ofoptimizing an objective function in the presence of equality andinequality constraints. Many realistic problems cannot beadequately represented as a linear program owing to the nature ofthe nonlinearity of the objective function and/or the nonlinearityof any constraints. The Third Edition begins with a generalintroduction to nonlinear programming with illustrative examplesand guidelines for model construction.
