Operational research

The Markov chain approximation methods are widely used for the numerical solution of nonlinear stochastic control problems in continuous time.

We are delighted to present this compilation of insightful contributions from the Global Conference on Entrepreneurship and Economy in an Era of Uncertainty (EEEU23) hosted by the International Research Center for Higher Education and Business Cooperation in Poland.

This book has two main objectives: *  to provide a concise introduction to nonlinear optimization methods, which can be used as a textbook at a graduate or upper undergraduate level; *  to collect and organize selected important topics on optimization algorithms, not easily found in textbooks, which can provide material for advanced courses or can serve as a reference text for self-study and research.

This new edition textbook continues down the path that the first edition, winner of the 2013 IISE/Joint Publishers Book-of-the-Year Award, successfully carved out.

The point of departure in the present book is that the decision makers, involved in the evaluation of alternatives under conflicting criteria, express their preferential judgement by estimating ratios of subjective values or differences of the corresponding logarithms, the so-called grades.

One of the attractions of fuzzy logic is its utility in solving many real engineering problems.

In recent years, an impetuous development of new, unconventional theories, methods, techniques and technologies in computer and information sciences, systems analysis, decision-making and control, expert systems, data modelling, engineering, etc.

In a world where technology is continually advancing, and problems are becoming more and more complex, established practices for decision making and problem solving are no longer effective.

Computational Issues in High Performance Software for Nonlinear Research brings together in one place important contributions and up-to-date research results in this important area.

This book systematically explores theories related to linguistic computational models and group decision making methods under uncertainty.

This book provides step-by-step descriptions of how to formulate numerical problems and develops techniques for solving them.
