Sinopsis

The subject of the present book is sub differential calculus. The main source of this branch of functional analysis is the theory of extremal problems. For a start, we explicate the origin and statement of the principal problems of sub differential calculus. To this end, consider an abstract minimization problem formulated as follows: x E X, f(x) --+ inf. Here X is a vector space and f : X --+ iR is a numeric function taking possibly infinite values. In these circumstances, we are usually interested in the quantity inf f( x), the value of the problem, and in a solution or an optimum plan of the problem (i. e. , such an x that f(x) = inf f(X, if the latter exists. It is a rare occurrence to solve an arbitrary problem explicitly, i. e. to exhibit the value of the problem and one of its solutions. In this respect it becomes necessary to simplify the initial problem by reducing it to somewhat more manageable modifications formulated with the details of the structure of the objective function taken in due account. The conventional hypothesis presumed in attempts at theoretically approaching the reduction sought is as follows. Introducing an auxiliary function 1, one considers the next problem: x EX, f(x) -l(x) --+ inf. Furthermore, the new problem is assumed to be as complicated as the initial prob lem provided that 1 is a linear functional over X, i. e.

Reseña del editor

This monograph presents the most important results of a new branch of functional analysis: subdifferential calculus and its applications. New tools and techniques of convex and nonsmooth analysis are presented, such as Kantorovich spaces, vector duality, Boolean-valued and infinitesimal versions of nonstandard analysis, etc., covering a wide range of topics.
This volume fills the gap between the theoretical core of modern functional analysis and its applicable sections, such as optimization, optimal control, mathematical programming, economics and related subjects.
The material in this book will be of interest to theoretical mathematicians looking for possible new applications and applied mathematicians seeking powerful contemporary theoretical methods.
