In 1995 the Handbook of Global Optimization (first volume), edited by R. Horst, and P.M. Pardalos, was published. This second volume of the Handbook of Global Optimization is comprised of chapters dealing with modern approaches to global optimization, including different types of heuristics. Together (available as a set, set ISBN 1-4020-0742-6), the two volumes of the handbook cover a complete and broad spectrum of approaches for dealing with global optimization problems.The goal of the editors is to provide a true handbook that does not focus on particular applications of the heuristics and algorithms, but rather describes the state of the art for the different methodologies. Topics covered in the handbook include various metaheuristics, such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, neural networks, taboo search, shake-and-bake methods, and deformation methods. In addition, the book contains chapters on new exact stochastic and deterministic approaches to continuous and mixed-integer global optimization, such as stochastic adaptive search, two-phase methods, branch-and-bound methods with new relaxation and branching strategies, algorithms based on local optimization, and dynamical search. Finally, the book contains chapters on experimental analysis of algorithms and software, test problems, and applications.Audience: Graduate students in engineering and operations research, academic research, as well as practitioners, who can tailor the general approaches described in the handbook to their specific needs and applications.

This up-to-date book is on algorithms for large-scale unconstrained and bound constrained optimization. Optimization techniques are shown from a conjugate gradient algorithm perspective. Large part of the book is devoted to preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithms. In particular memoryless and limited memory quasi-Newton algorithms are presented and numerically compared to standard conjugate gradient algorithms. The special attention is paid to the methods of shortest residuals developed by the author. Several effective optimization techniques based on these methods are presented. Because of the emphasis on practical methods, as well as rigorous mathematical treatment of their convergence analysis, the book is aimed at a wide audience. It can be used by researches in optimization, graduate students in operations research, engineering, mathematics and computer science. Practitioners can benefit from numerous numerical comparisons of professional optimization codes discussed in the book.

Computational and theoretical open problems in optimization, computational geometry, data science, logistics, statistics, supply chain modeling, and data analysis are examined in this book. Each contribution provides the fundamentals needed to fully comprehend the impact of individual problems. Current theoretical, algorithmic, and practical methods used to circumvent each problem are provided to stimulate a new effort towards innovative and efficient solutions. Aimed towards graduate students and researchers in mathematics, optimization, operations research, quantitative logistics, data analysis, and statistics, this book provides a broad comprehensive approach to understanding the significance of specific challenging or open problems within each discipline. The contributions contained in this book are based on lectures focused on “Challenges and Open Problems in Optimization and Data Science” presented at the Deucalion Summer Institute for Advanced Studies in Optimization, Mathematics, and Data Science in August 2016. .
