Nonlinear Optimization in Finite Dimensions Morse Theory, Chebyshev Approximation, Trasversality, Flows, Parametric Aspects

The topology of global optimization is treated in detail (Morse Theory, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker points, Chebyshev Approximation). Moreover, three further basic subjects in nonlinear optimization are treated: Stability and sensitivity, gradient- and Newton's differential equations and, finally, parametric aspects. Audience: Researchers and graduate students working in optimization and operations research.Jongen, H. T. is the author of 'Nonlinear Optimization in Finite Dimensions Morse Theory, Chebyshev Approximation, Trasversality, Flows, Parametric Aspects' with ISBN 9780792365617 and ISBN 0792365615.
