Subject:

Description:

The theory of optimization of nonlinear functions of several real variables is presented. Topics include unconstrained optimization (Newton-Raphson, steepest ascent and gradient methods), constrained optimization (Lagrange multipliers, Kuhn-Tucker theorem, penalty concept, dynamic programming) and computational aspects (rates of convergence, computational complexity).
