Optimization Toolbox provides functions for finding parameters that minimize or maximize objectives while satisfying constraints. The toolbox includes solvers for linear programming (LP), mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), quadratic programming(QP), nonlinear programming (NLP), constrained linear least squares, nonlinear least squares, and nonlinear equations. You can define your optimization problem with functions and matrices or by specifying variable expressions that reflect the underlying mathematics. You can use the toolbox solvers to fin optimal solutions to continuous and discrete problems, perform trade of analyses, and incorporate optimization methods into algorithms and applications. The toolbox lets you perform design optimization tasks, including parameter estimation, component selection, and parameter tuning. It can be used to fin optimal solutions in applications such as portfolio optimization, resource allocation, and production planning and scheduling. Besides, Global Optimization Toolbox provides functions that search for global solutions to problems that contain multiple maxima or minima. Toolbox solvers include surrogate, pattern search, genetic algorithm, particle swarm, simulated annealing, multi start, and global search. This book presents advanced optimization techniques through examples.
