Mathematical programming for agricultural, environmental, and resource economics Mathematical programming for agricultural, environmental, and resource economics Harry Mason Kaiser "Mathematical Programming Models for Agriculture, Environmental, and Resource Economics provides a comprehensive overview of mathematical programming models and their applications to real world and i… OL15521208W
Large-Scale Optimization with Applications Large-Scale Optimization with Applications Lorenz T. Biegler Inverse problems and optimal design have come of age as a consequence of the availability of better, more accurate, and more efficient simulation packages. Many of these simulators, which can run on … OL19881669W
Large-Scale Optimization with Applications Large-Scale Optimization with Applications Lorenz T. Biegler Many important molecular conformation problems, such as protein folding, are expressed as global minimization problems. It is the fact that local minimization is insufficient, that markedly different… OL19881671W
Large-scale Optimization - Problems and Methods Large-scale Optimization - Problems and Methods Vladimir Tsurkov Decomposition methods aim to reduce large-scale problems to simpler problems. This monograph presents selected aspects of the dimension-reduction problem. Exact and approximate aggregations of multid… OL19881673W
