Otimização Não Linear

The goals are:

1- To distinguish the problems by degree of difficulty.

2 - To know optimality conditions and methods for local optima.

3- To understand how the methods "work" for problems with and without constraints, and to be able to compare their merits and weaknesses and convergence rate.

4- To understand the application of some methods for special problems like least squares.

5- To be have an overview of global optimization methods.
