For both public and private managers, the book Optimization Methods for a Stakeholder Society is today’s key to answer the problem of a sustainable development world. This world has to take into account the meaning of all stakeholders involved and has to reconcile a number of objectives, such as economic growth, employment and preservation of the ecosystem. Traditional methods, such as cost-benefit, are outmoded as they translate all these objectives into monetary costs, a materialistic approach. On the contrary, objectives have rather to stick to their own units, eventually indi

This book presents basic optimization principles and gradient-based algorithms to a general audience in a brief and easy-to-read form, without neglecting rigor. The work should enable professionals to apply optimization theory and algorithms to their own particular practical fields of interest, be it engineering, physics, chemistry, or business economics. Most importantly, for the first time in a relatively brief and introductory work, due attention is paid to the difficulties – such as noise, discontinuities, expense of function evaluations, and the existence of multiple minima – that oft

This volume presents a unique combination of modeling and solving real world optimization problems. It is the only book which treats systematically the major modeling languages and systems used to solve mathematical optimization problems, and it also provides a useful overview and orientation of today’s modeling languages in mathematical optimization. It demonstrates the strengths and characteristic features of such languages and provides a bridge for researchers, practitioners and students into a new world: solving real optimization problems with the most advances modeling systems.

The wide scope of optimization mandates extensive interaction between various disciplines in the development of the methods and algorithms, and in their fruitful application to real-world problems. This book presents a discipline-independent view of optimization, providing opportunities for students to identify and apply algorithms, methods, and tools from the diverse areas of optimization to their own fields without getting into too much detail about the underlying theories. The second edition of this book includes two new chapters: a chapter on global optimization and a real-world case stud
