Numerical Optimization

The textbook "Numerical Optimization" offers a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the most effective methods of continuous optimization. It addresses the growing demand for optimization techniques in the fields of engineering, science, and business. The focus is on the methods that are best suited for practical problems. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes new chapters on nonlinear interior methods as well as derivative-free methods, which are widely used in practice and are the subject of current research. With its practical approach, complemented by numerous illustrations and exercises, the book is accessible to a broad audience and serves both as a textbook for graduates and as a reference work for researchers and practitioners.
