In this self-consistent monograph, the author gathers and describes
different mathematical techniques and combines all together to form
practical procedures for the inverse analyses. It puts together topics
coming from mathematical programming, with soft computing and Proper
Orthogonal Decomposition, in order to show, in the context of structural
analyses, how the things work and what are the main problems one needs
to tackle.
Throughout the book a number of examples and exercises are worked out in
order to make reader practically familiar with discussed topics.
