John L. Nazareth

Differentiable Optimization and Equation Solving (eBook, PDF)

A Treatise on Algorithmic Science and the Karmarkar Revolution

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

An overview of the dramatic reorganization in reaction to N. Karmakar's seminal 1984 paper on algorithmic linear programming in the area of algorithmic differentiable optimization and equation-solving, or, more simply, algorithmic differentiable programming. Aimed at readers familiar with advanced calculus and numerical analysis.

"This monograph brings together research that was published by the author in several journal papers. It tells an intriguing story of the mechanism that unifies and differentiates between the multitude of algorithms that were developed in the pre and post Karmarkar period. The reader is supposed to be familiar with advanced calculus, numerical analysis, and computer science. ... it is aiming at researchers and advanced students. The text is written with the greatest care, a scholar example op clear mathematical writing." (Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, 2007)
