Semi-infinite optimization is a vivid field of active research. Recently semi- infinite optimization in a general form has attracted a lot of attention, not only because of its surprising structural aspects, but also due to the large number of applic...Loe edasi...
Researchers working with nonlinear programming often claim "e;the word is non- linear"e; indicating that real applications require nonlinear modeling. The same is true for other areas such as multi-objective programming (there are always seve...Loe edasi...

Sari: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications
(Ilmumisaeg: 01-Dec-2013, PDF+DRM, Kirjastus: Springer-Verlag New York Inc., ISBN-13: 9781461333418)
A function is convex if its epigraph is convex. This geometrical structure has very strong implications in terms of continuity and differentiability. Separation theorems lead to optimality conditions and duality for convex problems. A function is qua...Loe edasi...
