The volume deals with constrained and unconstrained problems and puts a special emphasis on large scale problems. It also introduces a new unified concept for unconstrained, constrained, vector, and stochastic global optimization problems. All methods presented are illustrated by various examples. Practical numerical algorithms are given and analyzed in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe topics presented include the randomized curve of steepest descent, the randomized curve of dominated points, the semi-implicit Euler method, the penalty approach, and active set strategies. The optimal decoding of block codes in digital communications is worked out as a case study and shows the potential and high practical relevance of this new approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobal Optimization: A Stochastic Approach\u003c\/i\u003e is an elegant account of a refined theory, suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in global optimization and its applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-06-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461439264\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-3927-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 148\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541485047948,"sku":"9781461439264","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461439264.jpg?v=1775737750","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461439264","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
