Parallel Optimization (Hardcover)

Hardcover. This book offers a unique pathway to methods of parallel optimization by introducing parallel computing ideas into both optimization theory and into some numerical algorithms for large-scale optimization problems. The three parts of the book bring together relevant theory, careful study of algorithms, and modeling of significant real world problems such as image reconstruction, radiation therapy treatment planning, financial planning, transportation andmulti-commodity network flow problems, planning under uncertainty, and matrix balancing problems. Technological innovations with the introduction of parallel computer architectures are impacting on scientific computing where large-scale problems are attacked. This is an introduction to the methods of parallel optimization by introducing parallel computing ideas and techniques into both optimization theory and numerical algorithms.
