Computational Issues in High Performance Software for Nonlinear Optimization
~
Murli A., Torardo G.

A special issue of , v.7, no.1 (1997), containing papers from a June 1995 conference held in Capri, Italy. Papers overview recent developments related to software for nonlinear optimization, reflecting different perspectives on well-established algorithms for nonlinear problems, fast algorithms for large-scale optimization problems, direct methods for solution of sparse linear algebra problems, and LCP solvers.

Real-Time Optimization by Extremum-Seeking Control

Real-Time Optimization by Extremum-Seeking Control
~
Ariyur K.B., Kristic M.

An up-close look at the theory behind and application of extremum seeking Originally developed as a method of adaptive control for hard-to-model systems, extremum seeking solves some of the same problems as today's neural network techniques, but in a more rigorous and practical way. Following the resurgence in popularity of extremum-seeking control in aerospace and automotive engineering, Real-Time Optimization by Extremum-Seeking Control presents the theoretical foundations and selected applications of this method of real-time optimization. Written by authorities in the field and pioneers in adaptive nonlinear control systems, this book presents both significant theoretic value and important practical potential. Filled with in-depth insight and expert advice, Real-Time Optimization by Extremum-Seeking Control:

* Develops optimization theory from the points of dynamic feedback and adaptation
* Builds a solid bridge between the classical optimization theory and modern feedback and adaptation techniques
* Provides a collection of useful tools for problems in this complex area
* Presents numerous applications of this powerful methodology
* Demonstrates the immense potential of this methodology for future theory development and applications Real-Time Optimization by Extremum-Seeking Control is an important resource for both students and professionals in all areas of engineering-electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical, biomedical-and is also a valuable reference for practicing control engineers.
