Foundations of Network Optimization and Games by Terry L. Friesz and David Bernstein is a book intended for scholars from all disciplines working on deterministic nonlinear network models expressed as nonlinear programs and mathematical games, as well as for graduate students encountering nonlinear network models for the first time.

The book purposely emphasizes model formulation, algorithm selection, and illustrative numerical examples rather than theoretical results on convergence and algorithm complexity. As such Foundations of Network Optimization and Games will be...
