PART F
Optimization,Graphs
- CHAPTER 22 Unconstrained Optimization. Linear Programming
- CHAPTER 23 Graphs. Combinatorial Optimization
The material of Part F is particularly useful in modeling large-scale real-world problems. Just as it is in numerics in Part E, where the greater availability of quality software and computing power is a deciding factor in the continued growth of the field, so it is also in the fields of optimization and combinatorial optimization. Problems, such as optimizing production plans for different industries (microchips, pharmaceuticals, cars, aluminum, steel, chemicals), optimizing usage of transportation systems (usage of runways in airports, tracks of subways), efficiency in running of power plants, optimal shipping (delivery services, shipping of containers, shipping goods from factories to warehouses and from warehouses to stores), designing optimal financial portfolios, and others are all examples where the size of the problem usually requires the use of optimization software. More recently, environmental concerns have put new aspects into the picture, where an important concern, added to these problems, is the minimization of environmental impact. The main task becomes to model these problems correctly. The purpose of Part F is to introduce the main ideas and methods of unconstrained and constrained optimization (Chap. 22), and graphs and combinatorial ...
