Abstract:

A unifying framework of concepts central to the optimization of large structured systems is developed and used in the organization of the literature. The basic concepts are divided in two groups, 1 problem manipulations, in which a given problem is restated in an alternative form more amenable to solution, and 2 solution strategies which reduce an optimization problem to a related sequence of simpler problems that can be solved by specialized methods.
