书名:Nonlinear Programming:An introduction 作者:Peter Zörnig 年份:2014 The present book is based onmy nonlinear programming text in Portuguese “Introdução à Programação Não Linear”, edited by the publisher of the University of Brasilia (Editora UnB) in 2011. The text originated from my lecture notes for various courses for undergraduate and graduate students, which I have taught at the Statistical Department of the University of Brasilia since 1998. The book is written primarily for undergraduate students from the fields of applied mathematics, engineering, economy, computation, etc., that want to become familiar with nonlinear optimization. I have highlighted important readings to create a comprehensive bibliography. In addition to the references, diverse web sites with information about nonlinear programming (in particular software) are cited. The philosophy of the present book is to present an illustrative didactical text that makes access to the discipline as easy as possible. In order to motivate the student, many examples and indications of practical applications are presented.Moreover, the book contains 123 illustrative figures and 123 exercises with detailed solutions at the end of the text. Without sacrificing the necessary mathematical rigor, excessive formalisms are avoided, making the text adequate for individual studies.
