B70-6 Computing Methods in Optimization Problems

The book consists of selected papers presented at the Second International Conference on Computing Methods in Optimization Problems held in San Remo, Italy, September 9–13, 1968. The purpose of the conference was to review recent advances in computational techniques of optimization problems, applied in a variety of technical areas. Thirty-one papers presented at the conference were selected to be included in this publication. These papers can be subdivided into eight basic categories. This classification and the contents of the papers will be discussed next.
