Many books on optimization consider only finite dimensional spaces. This volume is unique in its emphasis: the first three chapters develop optimization in spaces without linear structure, and the analog of convex analysis is constructed for this case. Many new results have been proved specially for this publication. In the following chapters optimization in infinite topological and normed vector spaces is considered. The novelty consists in using the drop property for weak well-posedness of linear problems in Banach spaces and in a unified approach (by means of the Dolecki approximation) to...

This volume contains selected papers presented either at the Oberwolfach Conference on Operations Research, February 1987, or at the three-day workshop on Advanced Computation Techniques, Parallel Processing and Optimization organized by IIASA and the University of Karlsruhe, which immediately followed. The aim of the conferences was to discuss recently developed methods in optimization theory and their practical implementation using advanced computation techniques, especially in parallel processing. The volume is divided into five sections: I. Algorithms and Optimization Methods II....

This volume contains the Proceedings of the Sixth French-German Conference on Optimization, which took place in June 1991 at Lambrecht (PfaIz). About one hundred scientists, mainly from France and Germany, but also from other european countries, met at the Palatinate Conference Center in the heart of the beautiful palatinate national park to review and discuss recent developments in the field of optimization. More than sixty lectures were delivered, covering a large part of the theoretical and practical aspects of optimization. They all contributed to a stimulating scientific exchange during...
