優(yōu)化理論和應(yīng)用雜志出版精心挑選的論文，涵蓋數(shù)學(xué)優(yōu)化技術(shù)及其在科學(xué)和工程中的應(yīng)用。一篇應(yīng)用論文應(yīng)該是關(guān)于優(yōu)化技術(shù)的應(yīng)用，就像它是關(guān)于一個特定問題的解決一樣。該雜志涵蓋的典型理論領(lǐng)域包括線性、非線性、數(shù)學(xué)和動態(tài)規(guī)劃。應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域包括數(shù)學(xué)經(jīng)濟學(xué)、數(shù)學(xué)物理和生物學(xué)、航空航天、化學(xué)、民用、電氣和機械工程。優(yōu)化理論與應(yīng)用雜志發(fā)表了六種類型的貢獻:常規(guī)論文、邀請論文、調(diào)查論文、技術(shù)說明、圖書通知和論壇(包含對已發(fā)表論文的評論、公開問題的討論、研究視角的討論等非常短的論文)。

The Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications publishes carefully selected papers covering mathematical optimization techniques and their applications to science and engineering. An applications paper should be as much about the application of an optimization technique as it is about the solution of a particular problem. Typical theoretical areas covered in the journal include linear, nonlinear, mathematical, and dynamic programming. Among the areas of application covered are mathematical economics, mathematical physics and biology, and aerospace, chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications journal publishes six types of contributions: regular papers, invited papers, survey papers, technical notes, book notices, and forums (very short papers containing comments on published papers, discussions of open problems, discussions of research perspectives, and so on).
