About the Book

Linear Programming and AI Optimization Models: Foundations, Algorithms, and Modern Applications in Operations Research and Machine Learning (VOL-2) continues the journey from classical optimization into the dynamic realm of Artificial Intelligence and advanced computational techniques.

This volume explores how optimization lies at the heart of modern Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and intelligent systems. It provides an in-depth treatment of gradient-based methods, metaheuristics, evolutionary algorithms, constraint satisfaction problems, and network optimization models, with strong emphasis on their practical applications in AI.

Readers will gain both theoretical understanding and implementation insights into algorithms that power today’s intelligent systems — from training large neural networks to solving complex scheduling, routing, and decision-making problems.

Key Features:

  • Detailed coverage of Gradient Descent variants, Adam, Backpropagation, and optimization in Deep Learning
  • Comprehensive exploration of Reinforcement Learning through an optimization lens
  • Advanced heuristic and evolutionary methods (Genetic Algorithms, PSO, Simulated Annealing, etc.)
  • Constraint Satisfaction Problems and their AI applications
  • Network optimization models with real-world relevance
  • Clear connections between classical OR and cutting-edge AI techniques

Perfect as a standalone advanced reference or as a natural continuation of Volume-1, this book is designed for graduate students, researchers, data scientists, AI engineers, and operations professionals seeking to master optimization in the AI era.
