*/Algebraic and Geometric ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimization 
<http://www.ec-securehost.com/SIAM/MO14.html>/*

/Jesús De Loera, Raymond Hemmecke, Matthias Köppe/

The book//offers//several research technologies not yet well known among 
practitioners of discrete optimization, minimizes prerequisites for 
learning these methods, and provides a transition from linear discrete 
optimization to nonlinear discrete optimization.

*/Semidefinite Optimization and Convex Algebraic Geometry 
<http://www.ec-securehost.com/SIAM/MO13.html>/**//*

/Edited by Grigoriy Blekherman, Pablo A. Parrilo, and Rekha R. Thomas/

This book provides a self-contained, accessible introduction to the 
mathematical advances and challenges resulting from the use of 
semidefinite programming in polynomial optimization. Each chapter 
addresses a fundamental aspect of convex algebraic geometry, which is a 
quickly evolving research area with contributions from the diverse 
fields of convex geometry, algebraic geometry, and optimization. The 
book begins with an introduction to nonnegative polynomials and sums of 
squares and their connections to semidefinite programming and quickly 
advances to several areas at the forefront of current research.
