Variational Analysis and Applications

Giannessi F., Maugeri A.0-387-24209-0, 0-387-24276-7, 978-0387-24276-7

This book discusses a new discipline, variational analysis, which contains the calculus of variations, differential calculus, optimization, and variational inequalities. To such classic branches of athematics, variational analysis provides a uniform theoretical base that represents a powerful tool for the applications. The contributors are among the best experts in the field.
