Optimization Techniques and Associated Applications (Engineering Mathematics and Operations Research)

Currently, the techniques of operation research are widely used in every aspect of day-to-day life. This book discusses a variety of problems that arise in various businesses and develops mathematical theories as well as technology answers to solve them from an industry perspective.

Optimization Techniques and Associated Applications incorporates cutting-edge methods for locating early workable answers to an optimization challenge and acts as a road map for creating a catastrophe management paradigm that is sustainable. This book offers numerical methods for resolving mathematical issues that can be found in numerous sectors and includes specific case studies of actual industrial optimization applications. The uncertainty that arises in various businesses is explored and new and recently developed techniques are discussed.

Because this book primarily focuses on operations research and solutions to the challenges across a variety of disciplines, the audience is expansive and can include professionals, students, and researchers from mathematics as well as engineers from industrial engineering, computer science, information technology, mechanical, civil, electrical, petroleum, chemical, aerospace, aviation, meteorology, disaster management, and other departments.
