{"product_id":"entropy-optimization-and-mathematical-programming-shu-cherng-fang-9780792399391","title":"Entropy Optimization and Mathematical Programming","description":"Entropy optimization is a useful combination of classical engineering theory \u003cem\u003e(entropy)\u003c\/em\u003e with mathematical optimization. The resulting \u003cem\u003eentropy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eoptimization models\u003c\/em\u003e have proved their usefulness with successful applications in areas such as image reconstruction, pattern recognition, statistical inference, queuing theory, spectral analysis, statistical mechanics, transportation planning, urban and regional planning, input-output analysis, portfolio investment, information analysis, and linear and nonlinear programming. \u003cbr\u003e While entropy optimization has been used in different fields, a good number of applicable solution methods have been loosely constructed without sufficient mathematical treatment. A systematic presentation with proper mathematical treatment of this material is needed by practitioners and researchers alike in all application areas. The purpose of this book is to meet this need. \u003cem\u003eEntropy Optimization and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMathematical Programming\u003c\/em\u003e offers perspectives that meet the needs of diverse \u003cem\u003euser communities\u003c\/em\u003e so that the users can apply \u003cem\u003eentropy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eoptimization techniques\u003c\/em\u003e with complete comfort and ease. With this consideration, the authors focus on the entropy optimization problems in finite dimensional Euclidean space such that only some basic familiarity with optimization is required of the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shu-Cherng Fang,J.
