Description
This book summarizes advances in a number of fundamental areas of optimization, with application in engineering design. Mathematical optimization techniques are being used to design large engineering and industrial systems, and computer-aided design packages with optimization capabilities are now available.
This book summarizes advances in a number of fundamental areas of optimization with application in engineering design. The selection of the 'best' or 'optimum' design has long been a major concern of designers and in recent years interest has grown in applying mathematical optimization techniques to design of large engineering and industrial systems, and in using the computer-aided design packages with optimization capabilities which are now available.
