The  resulting \u003cem\u003eentropy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eoptimization models\u003c\/em\u003e have proved their  usefulness with successful applications in areas such as image  reconstruction, pattern recognition, statistical inference, queuing  theory, spectral analysis, statistical mechanics, transportation  planning, urban and regional planning, input-output analysis,  portfolio investment, information analysis, and linear and nonlinear  programming. \u003cbr\u003e  While entropy optimization has been used in different fields, a good  number of applicable solution methods have been loosely constructed  without sufficient mathematical treatment. A systematic presentation  with proper mathematical treatment of this material is needed by  practitioners and researchers alike in all application areas. The  purpose of this book is to meet this need. \u003cem\u003eEntropy Optimization  and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMathematical Programming\u003c\/em\u003e offers perspectives that meet  the needs of diverse \u003cem\u003euser communities\u003c\/em\u003e so that the users can  apply \u003cem\u003eentropy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eoptimization techniques\u003c\/em\u003e with complete  comfort and ease. With this consideration, the authors focus on the  entropy optimization problems in finite dimensional Euclidean space  such that only some basic familiarity with optimization is required of  the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792399391\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6131-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 343\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378466611340,"sku":"9780792399391","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792399391.jpg?v=1775004463","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792399391","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
