Themain objective of this book is to provide the necessary background to work withbig data by introducing some novel optimization algorithms and codes capable ofworking in the big data setting as well as introducing some applications in bigdata optimization for both academics and practitioners interested, and tobenefit society, industry, academia, and government. Presenting applications ina variety of industries, this book will be useful for the researchers aiming toanalyses large scale data. Several optimization algorithms for big dataincluding convergent parallel algorithms, limited memory bundle algorithm,diagonal bundle method, convergent parallel algorithms, network analytics, andmany more have been explored in this book.
