Book Description
A foundational text in optimization theory, Avriel's Nonlinear Programming: Analysis and Methods provides a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of nonlinear optimization, covering both theoretical foundations and practical algorithms. The book develops the mathematical structure of unconstrained optimization, constrained optimization, Lagrange multipliers, convexity, duality, penalty and barrier methods, and iterative numerical techniques. Long regarded as one of the most complete single‑volume treatments of nonlinear programming, it remains widely cited in operations research, applied mathematics, engineering, and computational optimization. This copy comes from the Hassan Aït‑Kaci technical library, reflecting his broader engagement with mathematical methods underlying computation, constraint systems, and optimization‑based reasoning.
