Produktbeschreibung

The purpose of this book is to present the main methods ofstatic and dynamic optimization. It has been written within theframework of the European Union project - ERRIC (EmpoweringRomanian Research on Intelligent Information Technologies), fundedby the EU's FP7 Research Potential program and developed incooperation between French and Romanian teaching researchers.
Through the principles of various proposed algorithms (withadditional references) this book allows the interested reader toexplore various methods of implementation such as linearprogramming, nonlinear programming - particularly importantgiven the wide variety of existing algorithms, dynamic programmingwith various application examples and Hopfield networks. The bookexamines optimization in relation to systems identification;optimization of dynamic systems with particular application toprocess control; optimization of large scale and complex systems;optimization and information systems.
