Large-Scale Optimization with Applications Part I: Optimization in Inverse Problems and Design

Inverse problems and optimal design have come of age as a consequence of the availability of better, more accurate, and more efficient simulation packages. Many of these simulators, which can run on small workstations, can capture the complicated behavior of the physical systems they are modeling, a...
