In 1781, Gaspard Monge defined the problem of ""optimal transportation"", or the transferring of mass with the least possible amount of work, with applications to engineering in mind. In 1942, Leonid Kantorovich applied the newborn machinery of linear...

Probabilistic risk analysis aims to quantify the risk caused by high technology installations. Increasingly, such analyses are being applied to a wider class of systems in which problems such as lack of data, complexity of the systems, uncertainty about...

Optimization is ubiquitous in power system engineering. Drawing on powerful, modern tools from convex optimization, this rigorous exposition introduces essential techniques for formulating linear, second-order cone, and semidefinite programming...

Bayesian decision analysis supports principled decision making in complex domains. This textbook takes the reader from a formal analysis of simple decision problems to a careful analysis of the sometimes very complex and data rich structures confronted...

This book provides a broad introduction to the subject of dynamical systems, suitable for a one- or two-semester graduate course. In the first chapter, the authors introduce over a dozen examples, and then use these examples throughout the book to...

Quantitative risk assessments cannot eliminate risk, nor can they resolve trade-offs. They can, however, guide principled risk management and reduction - if the quality of assessment is high and decision makers understand how to use it. This book builds...

Turbulence plays a crucial role in contexts ranging from galaxy formation to heavy atomic nuclei, from jet engines to arterial blood flow, challenging engineers, physicists, and mathematicians. Recently, turbulence of quantum fluids displaying...

Point-to-point vs hub-and-spoke. Questions of network design are real and involve many billions of dollars. Yet little is known about optimising design - nearly all work concerns optimising flow assuming a given design. This foundational book tackles...

This book is based on proceedings from a February 2004 Santa Fe Institute workshop. Its contributing chapter authors treat the ecology of predator-prey interactions and food web theory, structure, and dynamics, joining researchers who also work on...

Praise for the Second Edition: "This is quite a well-done book: very tightly organized, better-than-average exposition, and numerous examples, illustrations, and applications." -Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical Society An Introduction...

Many advances have taken place in the field of combinatorial algorithms since Methods of Mathematical Economics first appeared two decades ago. Despite these advances and the development of new computing methods, several basic theories and methods remain...

The power grid can be considered one of twentieth-century engineering's greatest achievements and, as grids and populations grow, robustness is a factor that planners must take into account. Since the underlying physics is mathematically complex, and...

Static hedge portfolios for barrier options are very sensitive with respect to changes of the volatility surface. To prevent potentially significant hedging losses this book develops a static super-replication strategy with market-typical robustness...

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...

Providing comprehensive yet accessible coverage, this is the first graduate-level textbook dedicated to the mathematical theory of risk measures. It explains how economic and financial principles result in a profound mathematical theory that allows us to...

Historically, optimal transport was about moving a pile of mortar efficiently or transferring the output of an array of steel mines optimally. This type of problem has been found to arise in many different fields of mathematics, science, and...

This self-contained textbook provides the foundations of linear optimization, covering topics in both continuous and discrete linear optimization. It gradually builds the connection between theory, algorithms, and applications so that readers gain a...

This book is to celebrate the contributions of Professor Joaquin Alvarez Gallegos, a pioneer in the promotion and development of dynamical systems, control and synchronization in the Mexican community. The book presents a collection of original research...

The intention of the authors is to examine the relationship between piecewise linear structure and differential structure: a relationship, they assert, that can be understood as a homotopy obstruction theory, and, hence, can be studied by using the...

Linear optimisation is concerned with the solution of maximisation and minimisation problems that are described by linear functions and linear constraints. In particular, linear programming problems, assignment problems and transportation problems...

This is a textbook and reference for readers interested in quasilinear control (QLC). QLC is a set of methods for performance analysis and design of linear plant or nonlinear instrumentation (LPNI) systems. The approach of QLC is based on the method of...

The goal of this book is to present the main ideas and techniques in the field of continuous smooth and nonsmooth optimization. Starting with the case of differentiable data and the classical results on constrained optimization problems, and continuing...

This book is a specific monograph on nonlinear resonance in circuits and systems. The topic falls within the wider area of research that the authors have been developing during the last several years, which includes strange attractors and bifurcations in...

Techniques of optimization are applied in many problems in economics, automatic control, engineering, etc. and a wealth of literature is devoted to this subject. The first computer applications involved linear programming problems with simp- le structure...

Polyhedral functions provide a model for an important class of problems that includes both linear programming and applications in data analysis. General methods for minimizing such functions using the polyhedral geometry explicitly are developed. Such...
