PPT-Chapter 7 Nonlinear Optimization Models

Introduction In many complex optimization problems the objective andor the constraints are nonlinear functions of the decision variables Such optimization problems are called nonlinear programming .

An optimization problem is a problem in which we wish to determine the best values for decision variables that will maximize or minimize a performance measure subject to a set of constraints. A feasible solution is set of values for the decision variables which satisfy all of the constraints. multilinear. gradient elution in HPLC with Microsoft Excel Macros.

Novelty 1: Ice thickness is allowed to vary during the optimization (but constrained by observational uncertainties) to provide another degree of freedom.
