Download or read book Optimization with Multivalued Mappings written by Stephan Dempe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the tremendous development that has taken place recently in the field of of nondifferentiable nonconvex optimization. Coverage includes the formulation of optimality conditions using different kinds of generalized derivatives for set-valued mappings (such as, for example, the co-derivative of Mordukhovich), the opening of new applications (the calibration of water supply systems), and the elaboration of new solution algorithms (e.g., smoothing methods).
