Foundations of Network Optimization and Games

Foundations of Network Optimization and Games (Complex Networks and Dynamic Systems Book 3) This is a book about infrastructure networks that are intrinsically nonlinear. The networks considered range from vehicular networks to electric power networks to data networks.The main point of view taken is that of mathematical programming in concert with finite-dimensional variational inequality theory. The principle modeling perspectives are network optimization, the theory of Nash games, and mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints. Computational methods and novel mathematical formulations are emphasized. Among the numerical methods explored are network simplex, gradient projection, fixed-point, gap function, Lagrangian relaxation, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, simplicial decomposition, and computational intelligence algorithms.New and unusedAs isA1 impeccable for everyday use. superior materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
