Advances in Optimization and Approximation by Ding-zhu Ding-Zhu Du, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book is a collection of research papers in optimization and approximation dedicated to Professor Minyi Yue of the Institute of Applied Mathematics, Beijing, China. The papers provide a broad spectrum of research on optimization problems, including scheduling, location, assignment, linear and nonlinear programming problems as well as problems in molecular biology. The emphasis of the book is on algorithmic aspects of research work in optimization. Special attention is paid to approximation algorithms, including heuristics for combinatorial approximation problems, approximation algorithms for global optimization problems, and applications of approximations in real problems. The work provides the state of the art for researchers in mathematical programming, operations research, theoretical computer science and applied mathematics. | Advances in Optimization and Approximation by Ding-zhu Ding-Zhu Du, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
