| Abstract: | This paper presents a development of sensitivity analysis (post optimal) for non-linear optimization problems. The basis for this development is the optimization technique known as geometric programming. Efficient procedures are developed which relate changes in the coefficients to the new design variables. The procedure is used to analyze the design of a condenser. |
