Presents recent developments of key topics in nonlinear programming using a logical and self-contained format. Divided into three sections that deal with convex analysis, optimality conditions and duality, computational techniques. Precise statements of algorithms are given along with convergence analysis. Each chapter contains detailed numerical examples, graphical illustrations and numerous exercises to aid readers in understanding the concepts and methods discussed.

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE OF NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING THEORY AND ALGORITHMS, THOROUGHLY REVISED AND EXPANDED
Nonlinear Programming: Theory and Algorithms—now in an extensively updated Third Edition— addresses the problem of optimizing an objective function in the presence of equality and inequality constraints. Many realistic problems cannot be adequately represented as a linear program owing to the nature of the nonlinearity of the objective function and/or the nonlinearity of any constraints. The Third Edition begins with a general introduction to nonlinear programming with illustrative examples and guidelines for model construction.
Concentration on the three major parts of nonlinear programming is provided:
Important features of the Third Edition include:
The book is a solid reference for professionals as well as a useful text for students in the fields of operations research, management science, industrial engineering, applied mathematics, and also in engineering disciplines that deal with analytical optimization techniques. The logical and self-contained format uniquely covers nonlinear programming techniques with a great depth of information and an abundance of valuable examples and illustrations that showcase the most current advances in nonlinear problems.
