Selected applications of nonlinear programming

Abstract : The report presents selected applications of nonlinear programming in some detail. The first chapter, which is a general introduction to nonlinear programming, contains definitions, classifications of problems, mathematical characteristics, and solution procedures. The remaining chapters deal with various problems and their nonlinear programming models.
