About the Book

The goal of the Encyclopedia of Optimization is to introduce the reader to a complete set of topics that show the spectrum of research, the richness of ideas, and the breadth of applications that has come from this field. In 2000, the first edition was widely acclaimed and received high praise. J.B. Rosen crowned it “an indispensable resource” and Dingzhu Du lauded it as “the standard most important reference in this very dynamic research field”. Top authors such as Herbert Hauptman (winner of the Nobel Prize) and Leonid Khachiyan (the Ellipsoid theorist) contributed and the second edition kept these seminal entries. The second edition built upon the success of the first 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”. The broad field of optimization is dynamic and constantly changing with novel applications, models, and methodologies. The aim of the third edition is to keep this reference work as a defining and authoritative resource in the optimization field, and to reflect recent important advances and developments. In addition to updating a portion of the existing entries, the third edition will include about 200 new entries in several of the optimization areas that have burgeoned since publication of the second edition such as AI, Machine Learning, Robust Optimization, optimization of pharmaceutical manufacturing, and more.
