General readers ofinitial chapters that cover classical optimization topics are expected to have familiarity with the fundamentals of mathematics and calculus. Readers of lateral chapters of advancedoptimizationtopicsareexpectedtohavefamiliaritywiththefundamentals of optimization along with their basic domain knowledge in engineering and science. Optimizationisofgreatinterestandithaswidespreadapplicationsinengineer- ing, science, and business. It has become a major technology contributor to the growthoftheindustry.Itis extensivelyused insolvingawidevarietyofproblems in design, operation, and analysis of engineering and technological processes. The initial chapters of this book emphasize various classical methods of optimization and their applications. This book mainly focuses on evolutionary, stochastic, and artificial intelligence optimization algorithms with a special emphasis on their design, analysis, and implementation to solve complex optimization problems and includes a number of real applications concerning chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental engineering processes. Formulation, design, and implementation of various advanced optimization strategies to solve a wide variety of base case and real engineering problems make this book beneficial to researchers working inmultipledomains.

This chapter also deals with the region of search within the constraints, classification of problems in optimization, general solution procedure, and the obstacles of optimization. Chapter 2 discusses classical analytical methods of optimization. The classical optimization techniques are analytical in nature and make use of differential calculus to solve the problems involving continuous differentiable functions. These techniques with necessary and sufficient conditions are employed to find the optimum of unconstrained single variable functions and multivariable functionswith equality andinequality constraints. Chapter 3 elaborates numerical search methods for unconstrained optimization problems.Theclassicalanalyticalmethodsbasedonnecessaryconditionswiththeir analytical derivatives can yield exact solution for functions that have no complex form of expressions. These analytical methods are usually difficult to apply for nonlinear functions for which the analytical derivatives are hard to compute and for functions involving more variables.

In this chapter, various one-dimensional gradient search methods,polynomialapproximationmethods,multivariabledirectsearchmethods, andmultivariablegradient search methods with examplesare discussed. Chapter4describesvariousstochasticandevolutionaryoptimizationalgorithms. Classicaloptimizationmethodsfailtosolveproblemsthatposedifficultiesconcern- ing to dimensionality, differentiability, multimodality, nonlinearity in objective function and constraints, and problems that have many local optima. There has been a rapidly growing interest in advanced optimization algorithms over the last decade. Stochastic and evolutionary optimization methods are increasingly used to solve challenging optimization problems. These methods are typically inspired by some phenomena from nature and they are robust. These methods are capable of locating global optimum of multimodal functions and they have flexibility with ease of operation. These algorithms do not require any gradient information and are even suitable to solve discrete optimization problems. These methods are extensively used in the analysis, design, and operation of systems that are highly nonlinear, high dimensional, and noisy or for solving problems that are not easily solved by classical deterministic methods of optimization. Various stochastic and globaloptimizationmethodsarenowbecomingindustrystandard.Chapter4mainly focuses on evolutionary and stochastic optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, differential evolution, ant colony optimization, tabusearch,particleswarmoptimization,artificialbeecolonyalgorithm,andcuckoo search algorithm. In Chapter 4, these algorithms are described in detail with flow schemes and implementation procedures. Implementation of stochastic global optimization methods to base case problems involving continuous and discrete numerical functions gives intriguing insight about the efficacy of these methods fortheirfurtherimplementationtorealengineeringapplications.Chapter5provides different base case applications and performance evaluation of various stochastic global optimization methods. Chapter 6 discusses application of stochastic evolutionary optimization tech- niques to chemical processes. The chemical industry is experiencing significant changes because of global market competition, strict bounds on product specifica- tions, pricing pressures, and environmental issues. Optimization is the most important approach that addresses the performance issues related to several areas of chemical process engineering including process design, process development, process modeling, process identification, process control, and real-time process operation. Optimization is also used in process synthesis, experimental design, planning, scheduling, distribution, and integration of process operations. Most of the chemical engineering problems exhibit highly nonlinear dynamics and often present nonconvexity,discontinuity,andmultimodality.Theclassicaldeterministic Preface xix optimizationmethodsarenoteffectiveinsolvingoptimizationproblemsofcomplex chemical processes and often require high computational time.
