Abstract

The primary objectives of this chapter are to Provide a broad overview of standard optimization techniques. When using optimization techniques: Understand clearly where optimization fits into the problem. Be able to formulate a criterion for optimization. Know how to simplify a problem to the point at which formal optimization is a practical proposition. Have sufficient understanding of the theory of optimization to select an appropriate optimization strategy, and to evaluate the results that it returns.
