Covering the current state of the art, this book explores an important and central issue in convex optimization: optimality conditions. It focuses on finite dimensions to allow for much deeper results and a better understanding of the structures involved in a convex optimization…
"In a self-contained presentation, this book builds upon the standard mathematical background imparted in an undergraduate engineering program. It develops the often-encountered abstruse concepts by proceeding from concrete examples to abstract results. Based on the author's cla…
"Preface Support vector machines (SVMs), which were introduced by Vapnik in the early 1990s, are proved effective and promising techniques for data mining. SVMs have recently been breakthroughs in advance in their theoretical studies and implementations of algorithms. They have …
Optimization, simulation and control are very powerful tools in engineering and mathematics, and play an increasingly important role. Because of their various real-world applications in industries such as finance, economics, and telecommunications, research in these fields is ac…
With the proliferation of parallel computers and faster community networks, parallel metaheuristics are an effective alternative to speed up the search for approximate solutions of optimizations problems and allow solving larger problems while leading to more efficient algorithm…
This self-contained monograph presents a new stochastic approach to global optimization problems arising in a variety of disciplines including mathematics, operations research, engineering, and economics. The volume deals with constrained and unconstrained problems and puts a sp…
Optimization has played a key role in the design, planning and operation of chemical and related processes, for several decades. Global optimization has been receiving considerable attention in the past two decades. Of the two types of techniques for global optimization, stochas…
"Calculus Without Derivatives" expounds the foundations and recent advances in nonsmooth analysis, a powerful compound of mathematical tools that obviates the usual smoothness assumptions. This textbook also provides significant tools and methods towards applications, in particu…
"We have effective theories for very few things. Gravity is one, electromagnetism another. But for most things -- whether as mundane as finding a mate or as major as managing an economy -- our theories are lousy or nonexistent. Fortunately, we don't need them, any more than a fi…
"This authoritative book draws on the latest research to explore the interplay of high-dimensional statistics with optimization. Through an accessible analysis of fundamental problems of hypothesis testing and signal recovery, Anatoli Juditsky and Arkadi Nemirovski show how conv…
