Methods Of Nonsmooth Optimization In Stochastic Programming - From Conceptual Algorithms To Real-World Applications

by Welington Luis De Oliveira e Wim Stefanus Van Ackooij

~~171,59€~~ 137,27€ 20% OFF

 This book presents a comprehensive series of methods in nonsmooth optimization, with a particular focus on their application in stochastic programming and dedicated algorithms for decision-making under uncertainty. Each method is accompanied by rigorous mathematical analysis, ensuring a deep understanding of the underlying principles. The theoretical discussions included are essential for comprehending the mechanics of various algorithms and the nature of the solutions they provide—whether they are global, local, stationary, or critical. The book begins by introducing fundamental tools from set-valued analysis, optimization, and probability theory. It then transitions from deterministic to stochastic optimization, starting with a thorough discussion of modeling, understanding uncertainty, and incorporating it into optimization problems. Following this foundation, the book explores numerical algorithms for nonsmooth optimization, covering well-known decomposition techniques and algorithms for convex optimization, mixed-integer convex programming, and nonconvex optimization. Additionally, it introduces numerical algorithms specifically for stochastic programming, focusing on stochastic programming with recourse, chance-constrained optimization, and detailed algorithms for both risk-neutral and risk-averse multistage stochastic programs.The book guides readers through the entire process, from defining optimization models for practical problems to presenting implementable algorithms that can be applied in practice. It is intended for students, practitioners, and scholars who may be unfamiliar with stochastic programming and nonsmooth optimization. The analyses provided are also valuable for practitioners who may not be interested in convergence proofs but wish to understand the nature of the solutions obtained.

Optimization Essentials - Theory, Tools, And Applications

~~198,09€~~ 158,47€ 20% OFF

 This book explores recent developments and exciting challenges in operations research and mathematical optimization. It provides the following in a unified and carefully developed presentation: (a) novel problems that have arisen in the real-life optimization domain, highlighting the challenges in each problem; (b) significant methodological advances for solving existing optimization problems, with a special emphasis on large scale problems. The book assumes a decent understanding of matrix algebra, linear and integer programming, non-linear programming, computational complexity, and graph theory. Each chapter in this book starts with an introduction to the underlying optimization technique. It then explores a real-life case study to which the technique will be applied. The objective is to demonstrate how the underlying technique can be utilized to solve a challenging problem. The chapters offer details on how to formulate a research problem into a formal optimization model, reformulate or transform it (if required) to improve computational tractability, and apply necessary customizations to the optimization technique specific to the underlying problem to derive an optimal or near-optimal solution.The book covers various state-of-the-art methods (both exact and heuristics) and modelling approaches in sync with the current research trends, which are still not discussed in typical graduate-level textbooks. Applications covered in the book span the realms of resource planning, telecommunications, scheduling, logistics, education, environmental conservation, and many others. It is thus a valuable resource for post-graduate students of operations research and mathematical optimization. It also serves as a valuable reference for researchers who wish to explore various optimization techniques as part of their research methodologies. The learning from the book should enable the professionals to apply optimization theory and algorithms to their particular field of interest.
