Description

The second edition builds on the success of the former edition with more than 150 completely new entries, designed to ensure that the reference addresses recent areas where optimization theories and techniques have advanced. Particularly heavy attention resulted in health science and transportation, with entries such as ?Algorithms for Genomics ?, ?Optimization and Radiotherapy Treatment Design ?, and ?Crew Scheduling ?. show less
