Modeling, Dynamics, Optimization and Bioeconomics I: Contributions from ICMOD 2010 and the 5th Bioeconomy Conference 2012 - Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics Alberto a Pinto

Jacket Description/Back: This volume explores the emerging and current, cutting-edge theories and methods of modeling, optimization, dynamics and bioeconomy. It provides an overview of the main issues, results and open questions in these fields as well as covers applications to biology, economy, energy, industry, physics, psychology and finance. The majority of the contributed papers for this volume come from the participants of the International Conference on Modeling, Optimization and Dynamics (ICMOD 2010), a satellite conference of EURO XXIV Lisbon 2010, which took place at Faculty of Sciences of University of Porto, Portugal, and from the Berkeley Bioeconomy Conference 2012, at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
