The focus is on analytically solving optimization problems with a finite number of continuous variables. In addition, the authors provide introductions to classical and modern numerical methods of optimization and to dynamic optimization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book's overarching point is that most problems may be solved by the direct application of the theorems of Fermat, Lagrange, and Weierstrass. The authors show how the intuition for each of the theoretical results can be supported by simple geometric figures. They include numerous applications through the use of varied classical and practical problems. Even experts may find some of these applications truly surprising. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A basic mathematical knowledge is sufficient to understand the topics covered in this book. More advanced readers, even experts, will be surprised to see how all main results can be grounded on the Fermat-Lagrange theorem. The book can be used for courses on continuous optimization, from introductory to advanced, for any field for which optimization is relevant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Brinkhuis, Vladimir Tikhomirov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.46w x 1.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691102870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJan Brinkhuis\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Finance and Mathematical Methods and Techniques at the Econometric Institute of Erasmus University, Rotterdam. \u003cb\u003eVladimir Tikhomirov\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Chair of Optimal Control in the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40087132405875,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":122.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_08f36039-2b95-4b64-8644-522366dde788.jpg?v=1652538538","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/optimization-insights-and-applications-9780691102870","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
