Foundations of Network Optimization and Games

This is a book about infrastructure networks that are intrinsically nonlinear. The networks considered range from vehicular networks to electric power networks to data networks. The main point of view taken is that of mathematical programming in concert w

Preface

T

his book is about computable mathematical models of infrastructure networks in decision environments that are primarily static or steady state in nature. The models considered are either mathematical programs or noncooperative mathematical games. The numerical methods considered include steepest descent, feasible direction, projection, fixed point, gap function, and computational intelligence algorithms. The book is a direct outgrowth of teaching and research we have done at Penn State, James Madison University, George Mason University, MIT, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. It is meant for use by students in civil engineering, industrial engineering, systems engineering, and operations research as either a primary or secondary textbook. It is also a reference for researchers specializing in the design and operation of transportation, water resource, telecommunications, and/or ene
