Constrained Nonlinear Optimization in Business
William P. Fox · IGI Global eBooks · 2014
We present both classical analytical, numerical, and heuristic techniques to solve constrained optimization problems relating to business, industry, and government. We briefly discuss other methods such as genetic algorithm. Today's business environment has many resource challenges to their attempts to maximize profits or minimize costs for which constrained optimization might be used. Facility location and transportation networks techniques are often used as well as the traveling salesman problem.
