Introduction to Nonlinear Optimization
This book provides the foundations of the theory of nonlinear optimization as well as some related algorithms and presents a variety of applications from diverse areas of applied sciences. The author combines three pillars of optimization-theoretical and algorithmic foundation, familiarity with various applications, and the ability to apply the theory and algorithms on actual problems--and rigorously and gradually builds the connection between theory, algorithms, applications, and implementation.
Introduction to Nonlinear Optimization
Built on the framework of the successful first edition, this book serves as a modern introduction to the field of optimization. The author’s objective is to provide the foundations of theory and algorithms of nonlinear optimization as well as to present a variety of applications from diverse areas of applied sciences. Introduction to Nonlinear Optimization gradually yet rigorously builds connections between theory, algorithms, applications, and actual implementation. The book contains several topics not typically included in optimization books, such as optimality conditions in sparsity constrained optimization, hidden convexity, and total least squares. Readers will discover a wide array of applications such as circle fitting, Chebyshev center, the Fermat–Weber problem, denoising, clustering, total least squares, and orthogonal regression. These applications are studied both theoretically and algorithmically, illustrating concepts such as duality. Python and MATLAB programs are used to show how the theory can be implemented. The extremely popular CVX toolbox (MATLAB) and CVXPY module (Python) are described and used. More than 250 theoretical, algorithmic, and numerical exercises enhance the reader's understanding of the topics. (More than 70 of the exercises provide detailed solutions, and many others are provided with final answers.) The theoretical and algorithmic topics are illustrated by Python and MATLAB examples. This book is intended for graduate or advanced undergraduate students in mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, and potentially other engineering disciplines.
An Introduction to Convexity, Optimization, and Algorithms
This concise, self-contained volume introduces convex analysis and optimization algorithms, with an emphasis on bridging the two areas. It explores cutting-edge algorithms—such as the proximal gradient, Douglas–Rachford, Peaceman–Rachford, and FISTA—that have applications in machine learning, signal processing, image reconstruction, and other fields. An Introduction to Convexity, Optimization, and Algorithms contains algorithms illustrated by Julia examples and more than 200 exercises that enhance the reader’s understanding of the topic. Clear explanations and step-by-step algorithmic descriptions facilitate self-study for individuals looking to enhance their expertise in convex analysis and optimization. Designed for courses in convex analysis, numerical optimization, and related subjects, this volume is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Its concise length makes it ideal for a one-semester course. Researchers and professionals in applied areas, such as data science and machine learning, will find insights relevant to their work.
