The participation of many of the leading figures in the field resulted in this excellent state of the art volume on continuous optimization. The papers presented here give a good overview of several topics including interior point and simplex methods for linear programming problems, new methods for nonlinear programming, results in non-convex linear complementarity problems and non-smooth optimization. There are several articles dealing with the numerical solution of diffusion--advection equations. For researchers and postgraduate students in optimization, partial differential equations and modelling. |

| Publisher Description: In January 1992, the Sixth Workshop on Optimization and Numerical Analysis was held in the heart of the Mixteco-Zapoteca region, in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, a beautiful and culturally rich site in ancient, colonial and modern Mexican civiliza- tion. The Workshop was organized by the Numerical Analysis Department at the Institute of Research in Applied Mathematics of the National University of Mexico in collaboration with the Mathematical Sciences Department at Rice University, as were the previous ones in 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984 and 1989. As were the third, fourth, and fifth workshops, this one was supported by a grant from the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology, and the US National Science Foundation, as part of the joint Scientific and Technical Cooperation Program existing between these two countries. The participation of many of the leading figures in the field resulted in a good representation of the state of the art in Continuous Optimization, and in an over- view of several topics including Numerical Methods for Diffusion-Advection PDE problems as well as some Numerical Linear Algebraic Methods to solve related pro- blems. This book collects some of the papers given at this Workshop. |
