Introduction to Methods for Nonlinear Optimization

This book has two main objectives:
• to provide a concise introduction to nonlinear optimization methods, which can be used as a textbook at a graduate or upper undergraduate level;
• to collect and organize selected important topics on optimization algorithms, not easily found in textbooks, which can provide material for advanced courses or can serve as a reference text for self-study and research.
The basic material on unconstrained and constrained optimization is organized into two block...
