چکیده
Optimization as an enabling technology has been one of the big success stories in process systems engineering. In this paper we present first a general review of optimization and its applications to a variety of problems in process systems engineering. Next, we provide an overview of two key areas: nonlinear programming and logic-based discrete/continuous optimization. In particular, recent advances are presented in the modeling and solution of nonlinear programming, dynamic optimization, mixed-integer and generalized disjunctive programming, global optimization and constraint programming. The impact of these techniques is illustrated with several example problems.
