Optimization problems involve finding the best solution within specific constraints. As technology advances, these problems have become more complex, often involving multiple constraints and mixed ...

Reviews basic ideas of complex analysis, including solutions of ODEs and PDEs of physical interest via complex analysis; conformal mapping, including Schwarz-Christoffel transformations and ...

Real-valued functions of complex arguments violate the Cauchy-Riemann conditions and, consequently, do not have Taylor series expansion. Therefore, optimization methods based on derivatives cannot be ...
