Large-Scale Optimization with Applications

By Lorenz T. Biegler

Subjects: Operations research, Systems theory, Mathematics, Numerical analysis, Mathematical optimization

Description: The workshop on optimization for design and control was made up of specialists in optimization and practitioners in the fields of aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, and fluid and solid mechanics. The major themes included an assessment of the state of the art in optimization algorithms as well as challenging applications in design and control, in the areas of process engineering and systems with partial differential equation models. The papers in this volume represent a balanced selection from the above application areas as well as contributions that survey the state of the art in relevant areas of nonlinear programming.
