Pierre Borne & Dumitru Popescu 
Optimization in Engineering Sciences [PDF ebook] 
Exact Methods

The purpose of this book is to present the main methods of
static and dynamic optimization. It has been written within the
framework of the European Union project – ERRIC (Empowering
Romanian Research on Intelligent Information Technologies), funded
by the EU’s FP7 Research Potential program and developed in
cooperation between French and Romanian teaching researchers.

Through the principles of various proposed algorithms (with
additional references) this book allows the interested reader to
explore various methods of implementation such as linear
programming, nonlinear programming – particularly important
given the wide variety of existing algorithms, dynamic programming
with various application examples and Hopfield networks. The book
examines optimization in relation to systems identification;
optimization of dynamic systems with particular application to
process control; optimization of large scale and complex systems;
optimization and information systems.
