"The book showcases how optimization techniques, computational intelligence, other mathematical techniques, and models have been successfully applied to solve real-world industrial optimization problems. It further covers the factors that influence the reliability of the equipment/system which include intrinsic and extrinsic factors. It highlights physical system problems and their solution using partial differential equations. It will serve as an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, computer engineering, and mathematics"--
