This special edited book series of Springer Proceedings in Mathematics and Statistics contains 13 selected keynote papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Optimization: Theory, Methods, Applications and Technology Transfer (NAOIV-2017) held during January 2–5, 2017, at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Muscat, Oman. This conference was sponsored by SQU, Oman Mathematics Committee (OMC), COMSTECH (Pakistan), AMPL (USA), German University of Technology (GUtech) in Oman, and the British Council (Oman). Seventeen world-leading researchers gave keynote lectures. In total, thirty-seven international participants contributed talks. After the conference, selected contributions were invited to be submitted as full papers for publication in a special issue of the following international journals: Optimization Methods and Software, and SQU Journal for Science. More information is available at the Website https://conference.squ.edu.om/Default.aspx?tabid=2157. Thirteen of the keynote papers were selected for this edited proceedings volume each of which was accepted after a stringent peer review process by independent reviewers. We wish to express our gratitude to all contributors. We are also indebted to many anonymous referees for the care taken in reviewing the papers submitted for publication. This volume is dedicated to the late Profs. Mike JD Powell and Roger Fletcher (passed away on 2015 and 2016, respectively), who were the pioneers and leading figures in the mathematics of nonlinear optimization.
