A Review on Optimization Literature Related to Operations Research Field

Abstract

Optimization is an iterative search process aimed at finding the best solution value for an objective function that satisfies constraints or bounded conditions in mathematically expressible problems. There are hundreds of books written in this field, and a new book is added to the list everyday. Since optimization is a very large field, each book is written for different disciplines. If you want to work on any subject related to this field, reaching the related book can be complicated and time consuming. The point to be reached in the research is to do an extensive research on the optimization books and to obtain relevant statistics. For this purpose, available optimization books related to the operations research of the last ten years were searched and examined in detail according to their topics. This work is aiming at leading the people who want to study about this topic by searching the literature about the optimization in the field of operations research.
