This book describes the fundamental and theoretical concepts of optimization algorithms, along with their potential applications and implementation strategies in mining engineering. Reliability analysis of mine systems, inventory management in mines, and applications of non-linear optimization are discussed with examples and numerical problems. > \nThis book describes the fundamental and theoretical concepts of optimization algorithms in a systematic manner, along with their potential applications and implementation strategies in mining engineering. It explains basics of systems engineering, linear programming, and integer linear programming, transportation and assignment algorithms, network analysis, dynamic programming, queuing theory and their applications to mine systems. Reliability analysis of mine systems, inventory management in mines, and applications of non-linear optimization in mines are discussed as well. All the optimization algorithms are explained with suitable exa.
