Nonlinear mathematical programming in engineering applications

Abstract

This paper deals with suitable nonlinear optimization in engineering applications via mathematical programming. This tool is used for optimization and control of production of steel slabs and inverse tasks, such as determination of boundary conditions. Mathematical models contain 2D Fourier-Kirchhoff equation including boundary conditions. Presence of phase and structural changes is covered by enthalpy approach. The software implementation was executed as a link between MATLAB and modeling language GAMS.
