Download or read book Asymptotic Cones and Functions in Optimization and Variational Inequalities written by Alfred Auslender and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This systematic and comprehensive account of asymptotic sets and functions develops a broad and useful theory in the areas of optimization and variational inequalities. The central focus is on problems of handling unbounded situations, using solutions of a given problem in these classes, when for example standard compacity hypothesis is not present. This book will interest advanced graduate students, researchers, and practitioners of optimization theory, nonlinear programming, and applied mathematics.
