Semi-Infinite Optimization in Engineering Design

  • Conference paper
Semi-Infinite Programming and Applications

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 215))

Abstract

It is shown that a large class of engineering design problems are expressible as nonlinear semi-infinite programming problems. Methods for the solution of these SIP problems are surveyed.
