Non-linear Programming

This chapter delves into nonlinear programming theory, initially presenting its basic concepts before exploring various optimization methods for nonlinear problems. It emphasizes the practical application of these methods, highlighting the use of software tools like GAMS, Matlab, and Python for problem-solving. The chapter culminates with a real-world example, demonstrating the selection of an energy source for a refrigeration system using GAMS, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical principles and practical applications in a succinct yet comprehensive manner.
