Calculus: Applications in Constrained Optimization provides an accessible yet mathematically rigorous introduction to constrained optimization, designed for undergraduate students who have some experiences with multivariable calculus. Based on a successful course at National Taiwan University (NTU) ── Calculus 4: Applications in Economics and Management, this book connects foundational calculus with contemporary techniques of optimization used in economics, management, and data science.Classical tools such as Lagrange multipliers and second derivative tests are extended into a general framework that covers both equality and inequality constraints. Readers will also learn to identify degenerate cases and apply second-order conditions in multivariable settings. Key concepts from linear algebra are introduced and integrated throughout.Each chapter concludes with a carefully structured set of exercises:● Type (A) questions test basic understanding;● Type (B) questions reinforce key example

Organizations and businesses strive toward excellence, and solutions to problems are based mostly on judgment and experience. However, increased competition and consumer demands require that the solutions be optimum and not just feasible. Theory leads to algorithms. Algorithms need to be translated into computer codes. Engineering problems need to be modeled. Optimum solutions are obtained using theory and computers, and then interpreted. Revised and expanded in its third edition, this textbook integrates theory, modeling, development of numerical methods, and problem solving, thus preparing students to apply optimization to real-world problems. This text covers a broad variety of optimization problems using: unconstrained, constrained, gradient, and non-gradient techniques; duality concepts; multi-objective optimization; linear, integer, geometric, and dynamic programming with applications; and finite element-based optimization. It is ideal for advanced undergraduate or graduate cours

Discrete optimization problems are everywhere, from traditional operations research planning (scheduling, facility location and network design); to computer science databases; to advertising issues in viral marketing. Yet most such problems are NP-hard; unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions. This book shows how to design approximation algorithms: efficient algorithms that find provably near-optimal solutions. The book is organized around central algorithmic techniques for designing approximation algorithms, including greedy and local search algorithms, dynamic programming, linear and semidefinite programming, and randomization. Each chapter in the first section is devoted to a single algorithmic technique applied to several different problems, with more sophisticated treatment in the second section. The book also covers methods for proving that optimization problems are hard to approximate. Designed as a textbook for graduate-level algorithm courses
