Constraint handling 330 $aOptimization has played a key role in the design, planning and operation of chemical and related processes, for several decades. Global optimization has been receiving considerable attention in the past two decades. Of the two types of techniques for global optimization, stochastic global optimization is applicable to any type of problems having non-differentiable functions, discrete variables and/or continuous variables. It, thus, shows significant promise and potential for process optimization. So far, there are no books focusing on stochastic global optimization and its applications in chem 410 0$aAdvances in process systems engineering ;$vv. 2. 606 $aChemical processes 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aStochastic processes 606 $aChemical engineering$xMathematics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChemical processes. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aStochastic processes. 615 0$aChemical engineering$xMathematics. 676 $a519.62 701 $aRangaiah$b Gade Pandu$0898775 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456228303321 996 $aStochastic global optimization$92008004 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04633nam 22009015 450 001 9910974339003321 005 20250609110925.0 010 $a9786612673580 010 $a9781282673588 010 $a1282673580 010 $a9780230250635 010 $a0230250637 024 7 $a10.1057/9780230250635 035 $a(CKB)2670000000031957 035 $a(EBL)555421 035 $a(OCoLC)650310395 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000416395 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12111803 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000416395 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10422946 035 $a(PQKB)11425733 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001618441 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16349001 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001618441 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14920791 035 $a(PQKB)11737540 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-230-25063-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC555421 035 $a(Perlego)3500675 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4324451 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000031957 100 $a20151030d2009 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEconomic Alternatives for Growth, Employment and Poverty Reduction $eProgressive Policy Recommendations for Developing Countries /$fedited by T.
