This book details algorithms for large-scale unconstrained and bound constrained optimization. It shows optimization techniques from a conjugate gradient algorithm perspective as well as methods of shortest residuals, which have been developed by the author.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"The book describes important algorithms for the numerical treatment of unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems with many variables. . This monograph is suitable as a text for a graduate course in computational optimization. It is useful to anyone active in this field. . This book is well written and well organized. The argument is clear. Lists of algorithms as well as tables and figures facilitate for the reader the search for desired information in the text. The reference list is comprehensive and contains 214 items." (Sven-Åke Gustafson, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 i)
"It is a very nice written book which can be used by researchers in optimization, in the teaching for seminars and by students . . Lists of figures, tables and algorithms make this book to a useful compendium for research and teaching. A lot of bibliographical hints with respect to a large reference list make the reader known with the historical development of CG-methods . . appendices with elements of topology, analysis, linear algebra and numerics of linear algebra make it to a self-contained book." (Armin Hoffmann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1171, 2009)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
