solution manual for \"an introduction to optimization by edwin k p chong and stanislaw H zak\"

Solution

Optimization is the core to any problem involving decision making. The tasks involve choosing among various alternatives. Optimization theory and methods deal with selecting best alternatives of the given objective function. The book written by Edwin K P Chong and Stanislaw H Zak is a text on optimization theory and methods for senior undergraduate or beginning graduate level.

Some of the exercises require MATLAB (a high-level technical computing language), and it gives a working knowledge of optimization theory and methods. It provides a cookbook of the most recent numerical techniques of for optimization and further advanced topics on optimization. Various randomized search methods that include particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithms vividly discussed in the study of complex adaptive systems.

The area of neural networks which is an active area of ongoing research has been devoted to this subject. The neural network training perfectly fits into the framework of unconstrained optimization methods. Some basic definitions, notations, linear algebra and geometry, and calculus have been frequently used throughout the book. Examples are stated very clearly and the results are presented with attention to details. It’s all “praise” for the edition and it leads the reader through the learning path.
