Convex Analysis and Global Optimization: Edition 2
About this ebook
Updates for this new edition include:
· Discussion of modern approaches to minimax, fixed point, and equilibrium theorems, and to nonconvex optimization;
· Increased focus on dealing more efficiently with ill-posed problems of global optimization, particularly those with hard constraints;· Important discussions of decomposition methods for specially structured problems;
· A complete revision of the chapter on nonconvex quadratic programming, in order to encompass the advances made in quadratic optimization since publication of the first edition.
· Additionally, this new edition contains entirely new chapters devoted to monotonic optimization, polynomial optimization and optimization under equilibrium constraints, including bilevel programming, multiobjective programming, and optimization with variational inequality constraint.
From the reviews of the first edition:
The book gives a good review of the topic. ...The text is carefully constructed and well written, the exposition is clear. It leaves a remarkable impression of the concepts, tools and techniques in global optimization. It might also be used as a basis and guideline for lectures on this subject. Students as well as professionals will profitably read and use it.—Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 49:3 (1999)
