Qualitative Topics in Integer Linear Programming (Hardcover): V.N. Shevchenko Qualitative Topics in Integer Linear Programming (Hardcover)
V.N. Shevchenko
R4,187 Discovery Miles 41 870 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Integer solutions for systems of linear inequalities, equations, and congruences are considered along with the construction and theoretical analysis of integer programming algorithms. The complexity of algorithms is analyzed dependent upon two parameters: the dimension, and the maximal modulus of the coefficients describing the conditions of the problem. The analysis is based on a thorough treatment of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of integer programming, in particular on bounds obtained by the author for the number of extreme points. This permits progress in many cases in which the traditional approach - which regards complexity as a function only of the length of the input-leads to a negative result.

Das Buch gibt eine Einfuhrung in zentrale Konzepte und Methoden der Nichtlinearen Optimierung. Es ist aus Vorlesungen der Autoren an der TU Munchen, der TU Darmstadt und der Universitat Hamburg entstanden. Der Inhalt des Buches wurde insbesondere auf mathematische Bachelorstudiengange zugeschnitten und hat sich als Basis entsprechender Vorlesungen sowie fur eine anschlieende Vertiefung im Bereich der Optimierung bewahrt. Der Umfang entspricht zwei zweistundigen oder einer vierstundigen Vorlesung, wobei etwa in gleichem Umfang sowohl unrestringierte Optimierungsprobleme als auch Optimierungsprobleme mit Nebenbedingungen behandelt werden. Im Teil uber die unrestringierte Optimierung werden sowohl Trust-Region- als auch Liniensuch-Methoden zur Globalisierung behandelt. Fur letztere wird ein ebenso leistungsfahiges wie intuitives Konzept der zulassigen Suchrichtungen und Schrittweiten entwickelt. Die schnelle lokale Konvergenz Newton-artiger Verfahren und ihre Globalisierung sind weitere wichtige Themengebiete. Das Kapitel uber restringierte Optimierung entwickelt notwendige und hinreichende Optimalitatsbedingungen und geht auf wichtige numerische Verfahren, insbesondere Sequential Quadratic Programming, Penalty- und Barriereverfahren ein. Der Bezug von Barriereverfahren zu den aktuell intensiv untersuchten Innere-Punkte-Verfahren wird ebenfalls hergestellt.

No one working in duality should be without a copy of Convex Analysis and Variational Problems. This book contains different developments of infinite dimensional convex programming in the context of convex analysis, including duality, minmax and Lagrangians, and convexification of nonconvex optimization problems in the calculus of variations (infinite dimension). It also includes the theory of convex duality applied to partial differential equations; no other reference presents this in a systematic way. The minmax theorems contained in this book have many useful applications, in particular the robust control of partial differential equations in finite time horizon. First published in English in 1976, this SIAM Classics in Applied Mathematics edition contains the original text along with a new preface and some additional references.

Primal-dual Interior-point Methods (Paperback): Stephen J Wright Primal-dual Interior-point Methods (Paperback)
Stephen J Wright
R2,289 Discovery Miles 22 890 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In the past decade, primal-dual algorithms have emerged as the most important and useful algorithms from the interior-point class. This book presents the major primal-dual algorithms for linear programming in straightforward terms. A thorough description of the theoretical properties of these methods is given, as are a discussion of practical and computational aspects and a summary of current software. This is an excellent, timely, and well-written work. The major primal-dual algorithms covered in this book are path-following algorithms (short- and long-step, predictor-corrector), potential-reduction algorithms, and infeasible-interior-point algorithms. A unified treatment of superlinear convergence, finite termination, and detection of infeasible problems is presented. Issues relevant to practical implementation are also discussed, including sparse linear algebra and a complete specification of Mehrotra's predictor-corrector algorithm. Also treated are extensions of primal-dual algorithms to more general problems such as monotone complementarity, semidefinite programming, and general convex programming problems.

Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a Riemannian Manifold (Paperback): Steve Zelditch Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a Riemannian Manifold (Paperback)
Steve Zelditch
R2,194 Discovery Miles 21 940 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of a Riemannian manifold can be described in terms of vibrating membranes as well as quantum energy eigenstates. This book is an introduction to both the local and global analysis of eigenfunctions. The local analysis of eigenfunctions pertains to the behavior of the eigenfunctions on wavelength scale balls. After re-scaling to a unit ball, the eigenfunctions resemble almost-harmonic functions. Global analysis refers to the use of wave equation methods to relate properties of eigenfunctions to properties of the geodesic flow. The emphasis is on the global methods and the use of Fourier integral operator methods to analyze norms and nodal sets of eigenfunctions. A somewhat unusual topic is the analytic continuation of eigenfunctions to Grauert tubes in the real analytic case, and the study of nodal sets in the complex domain. The book, which grew out of lectures given by the author at a CBMS conference in 2011, provides complete proofs of some model results, but more often it gives informal and intuitive explanations of proofs of fairly recent results. It conveys inter-related themes and results and offers an up-to-date comprehensive treatment of this important active area of research.

In this book, which focuses on the use of iterative methods for solving large sparse systems of linear equations, templates are introduced to meet the needs of both the traditional user and the high performance specialist. Templates, a description of a general algorithm rather than the executable object or source code more commonly found in a conventional software library, offer whatever degree of customization the user may desire. Templates have three distinct advantages: they are general and reusable, they are not language specific, and they exploit the expertise of both the numerical analyst, who creates a template reflecting in depth knowledge of a specific numerical technique, and the computational scientist, who then provides "value added" capability to the general template description, customizing it for specific needs. For each template that is presented, the authors provide a mathematical description of the flow of the algorithm, discussion of convergence and stopping criteria to use in the iteration, suggestions for applying a method to special matrix types, advice for tuning the template, tips on parallel implementations, and hints as to when and why a method is useful.

The problem of efficient or optimal allocation of resources is a fundamental concern of economic analysis. The theory of optimal economic growth can be viewed as an aspect of this central theme, which emphasizes in general the issues arising in the allocation of resources over an infinite time horizon, and in particular the consumption-investment decision process in models in which there is no natural "terminal date". This broad scope of "optimal growth theory" is one which has evolved over time, as economists have discovered new interpretations of its central results, as well as new applications of its basic methods. The "Handbook on Optimal Growth" provides surveys of significant results of the theory of optimal growth, as well as the techniques of dynamic optimization theory on which they are based. Armed with the results and methods of this theory, a researcher will be in an advantageous position to apply these versatile methods of analysis to new issues in the area of dynamic economics.

R1,832 Discovery Miles 18 320 Out of stock

Performance analysis of modern communication systems has lead to a revision and sharpening of nonlinear stability analysis techniques developed over the last century. Applicability of such techniques involves a number of areas, including: process control systems, active queue management in data networks, and other branches of engineering. This monograph presents some recent performance analysis results within a unified stability analysis framework. Several interesting counterexamples to the existing nonlinear stability theory are given. Additionally, several cutting-edge case studies from air traffic control systems and data networks are presented to further illustrate the applications of the theory. The main theoretical results build upon the well-established multiplier theory, which has received much interest because of recent advances in software packages such as the linear matrix inequality (LMI) toolbox. The exposition demonstrates the existence of monotone nonlinearites in problems of interest and gives an exhaustive stability analysis treatment of systems containing such nonlinearities. Key features: * broad range of topics: stability analysis, monotone nonlinearities, multiplier theory, service quality in data networks, protocol scalability, air traffic congestion control * recent and original results presented * many examples and case studies illustrate the applicability of the theory * comprehensive glossaries, bibliography, index, and appendices "Qualitative Nonlinear Dynamics of Communication Networks" is a useful reference for graduate students, and practitioners in control, computer, electrical, aerospace, and mechanical engineering. It can be used as a supplementary textfor nonlinear stability courses at the graduate level. Prerequisites are a familiarity with elementary control theory, linear systems theory, matrix theory, and functional analysis.
