Methods and optimization theory. Planning and management. Making optimal decisions. Linear and nonlinear programming. Frolkis V.A.

The book sets out the basics of the theory of solving problems of nonlinear, linear, discrete and multicriterial linear optimization. The methods of constructing mathematical models of optimal tasks are considered, while special attention is paid to linear models. The basic concepts, methodological principles and mathematical aspects of optimization theory are discussed. Certain chapters made a transport task and the model associated with it.

The publication is focused on students studying in the specialties “Applied Mathematics and Informatics”, “Economics”, “Management”, “Organization of Transportation”. It can also be useful to students of all engineering specialties, graduate students, students of faculties of continuing education and everyone who is interested in solving optimal tasks
