Integrated Methods for Optimization

Description:

"Integrated methods for optimization integrates the key concepts of Mathematical Programming and Constraint Programming into a unified framework that allows them to be generalized and combined. The unification of MP and CP creates optimization methods that have much greater modeling power increased computational speed and a sizeable reduction in computational coding integration therefore has substantial benefits providing the applied sciences with a powerful high-level modeling solution for optimization problems. As reviewers of the book have noted integrated methods are now being incorporated into solution software bringing the field a step closer to a truly all-purpose solver."--Jacket.
