As optimization techniques have developed, a gap has arisen between
the people devising the methods and the people who actually need to
use them. Research into methods is necessarily long-term and
located usually in academic establishments; whereas the application
of an optimization technique, normally in an industrial
environment, has to be justified financially in the short term. The
gap is probably inevitable; but there is no need for textbooks to
reflect it. Teaching of optimization techniques separately from
their connection with applications is pointless. This book gives a
detailed exposition of the techniques. In this first volume, T. A.
J. Nicholson demonstrates the full range of techniques available to
the practitioner for the solution of varying problems. For each
technique, the background reasoning behind its development is
explained in simple terms; where helpful it is supported by a
geometrical argument; and the iterative algorithm for finding the
optimum is defined clearly. These steps enable the reader not only
to see plainly what is happening in the method but also to reach a
level of understanding necessary to write computer programs for
optimization techniques. Problems are tackled in the same way--by
searching a feasible region for an optimum. This approach helps the
reader to develop the most essential of all skills--selecting
appropriate techniques for different circumstances. The numerous
worked examples in the text, supported by worked solutions, and the
exercises at the end of the chapters are important aids to learning
and to teachers. This book serves as an introduction to
optimization techniques for students as well as a reference work
for the practitioner in business and industry.
