Continuous Optimization and Variational Inequalities PDF

The proposed book provides a comprehensive coverage of theory and methods in the areas of continuous optimization and variational inequality. It describes theory and solution methods for optimization with smooth and non-smooth functions, for variational inequalities with single-valued and multivalued mappings, and for related classes such as mixed variational inequalities, complementarity problems, and general equilibrium problems. The emphasis is made on revealing generic properties of these problems that allow creation of efficient solution methods.

Salient Features

The book presents a deep, wide-ranging introduction to the theory of the optimal control of processes governed by optimization techniques and variational inequality

Several solution methods are provided which will help the reader to develop various optimization tools for real-life problems which can be modeled by optimization techniques involving linear and nonlinear functions.

The book focuses on most recent contributions in the nonlinear phenomena, which can appear in various areas of human activities.

This book also presents relevant mathematics clearly and simply to help solve real life problems in diverse fields such as mechanical engineering, management, control behavior, traffic signal, industry, etc.

This book is aimed primarily at advanced undergraduates and graduate students pursuing computer engineering and electrical engineering courses. Researchers, academicians and industry people will also find this book useful.
