Optimization

This book presents a variety of solution techniques for optimization problems, emphasizing concepts rather than rigorous mathematical details and proofs. It explains how to solve complex optimization problems using gradient-based and stochastic methods. It also describes different architectures to handle multidisciplinary design optimization problems. The author uses MATLAB(R) to solve many practical problems and links the software code to the corresponding algorithms in a user-friendly way. The codes are available on the book's CRC Press web page.
