Introduction to the Theory of Nonlinear Optimization

Meer over het boek

Focusing on optimization theory in normed spaces, this textbook covers essential topics such as existence results, differentiability concepts, optimality conditions, and duality theory. It also explores advanced areas like extended semidefinite optimization and control problems, including linear quadratic and time minimal scenarios. The text emphasizes practical applications in calculus of variations and optimal control theory, making it suitable for readers with a foundational understanding of linear functional analysis.
