Publisher's Synopsis
This volume consists of 101 papers in the areas of approximation, optimization and computing, and applications. Under the sponsorship of IMACS (The International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation), it represents a collaborative venture, initiated in 1986, between the Dalian University of Technology and the University of Regina. A primary goal of the project was to encourage research papers reflecting emerging directions within theory and applications. Covered are the following: analytic or discrete approximations, optimization applications, deterministic or stochastic processes, programming, and applications of theory or techniques in engineering or other sciences.
