"Written in a conversational tone and requiring only an early undergraduate level of mathematical knowledge, When Least Is Best is full of fascinating examples and ready-to-try-at-home experiments. This is the first book on optimization written for a wide audience, and math enth…
"Throughout the history of mathematics, maximum and minimum problems have played an important role in the evolution of the field. Many beautiful and important problems have appeared in a variety of branches of mathematics and physics, as well as in other fields of sciences. The …
In the manner described in the introduction we show the existence of value for all two person, zero-sum differential games of prescribed duration. Using the concept of relaxed controls from control theory we relate the approaches to differential games of A. Friedman and W. Flemi…
MM Optimization Algorithms offers an overview of the MM principle, a device for deriving optimization algorithms satisfying the ascent or descent property. These algorithms can separate the variables of a problem, avoid large matrix inversions, linearize a problem, restore symme…
