Abstract
This chapter will give a survey of some of the most commonly used optimization algorithms within the context of parameter characterization. The idea is not to give any detailed mathematical description of numerical optimization, since, on that topic one can found a decent number of great books (e.g., [1–3]). As the main topic of this book are the inverse analyses in structural engineering context, the goal is to present, to a reasonable extent, mathematical theory behind most commonly used optimization algorithms, so that they can be understood and easily implemented into a practical inverse analysis procedure.
