Optimization Methods, Theory and Applications

Description

This book presents the latest research findings and state-of-the-art solutions on optimization techniques and provides new research direction and developments. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of the book will be much beneficial to experts and students in optimization and operation research community. It selects high quality papers from The International Conference on Optimization: Techniques and Applications (ICOTA2013). The conference is an official conference series of POP (The Pacific Optimization Research Activity Group; there are over 500 active members). These state-of-the-art works in this book authored by recognized experts will make contributions to the development of optimization with its applications Front Matter....Pages i-viii Analysing Human Walking Using Dynamic Optimisation....Pages 1-34 Rearrangement Optimization Problems Related to a Class of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems....Pages 35-50 An Extension of the MOON2/MOON2R Approach to Many-Objective Optimization Problems....Pages 51-65 Existence of Solutions for Variational-Like Hemivariational Inequalities Involving Lower Semicontinuous Maps....Pages 67-84 An Iterative Algorithm for Split Common Fixed-Point Problem for Demicontractive Mappings....Pages 85-94 On Constraint Qualifications for Multiobjective Optimization Problems with Vanishing Constraints....Pages 95-135 A New Hybrid Optimization Algorithm for the Estimation of Archie Parameters....Pages 137-154 Optimization of Multivariate Inverse Mixing Problems with Application to Neural Metabolite Analysis....Pages 155-174 Exact Regularization, and Its Connections to Normal Cone Identity and Weak Sharp Minima in Nonlinear Programming....Pages 175-182 The Worst-Case DFT Filter Bank Design with Subchannel Variations....Pages 183-205
