Fractional Programming

This volume aims to present the current research and work in the theory and practice of fractional programming in a comprehensive and logical format. Possible fields of application for fractional programming methods are given first. Next, among others, the convex, quasi-convex, pseudo-convex, and log-convex functions are described. Methods for solving linear fractional programming problems, as well as non-linear problems are introduced and examined. Duality, multiple-objective, mathematical programming in complex space, integer and mixed integer subjects as applied to fractional programming are treated separately. Special problems and fractional transportation problems are also treated. This text should be of interest to mathematicians, engineers, economists whose work involves the application of optimization theory.
