Convex Analysis for Optimization: A Unified Approach by Jan Brinkhuis (English)

Description: Convex Analysis for Optimization by Jan Brinkhuis It starts with the concept of convex sets, their primal description, constructions, topological properties and dual description, and then moves on to convex functions and the fundamental principles of convex optimization and their use in the complete analysis of convex optimization problems by means of a systematic four-step method. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This textbook offers graduate students a concise introduction to the classic notions of convex optimization. Written in a highly accessible style and including numerous examples and illustrations, it presents everything readers need to know about convexity and convex optimization.The book introduces a systematic three-step method for doing everything, which can be summarized as "conify, work, deconify". It starts with the concept of convex sets, their primal description, constructions, topological properties and dual description, and then moves on to convex functions and the fundamental principles of convex optimization and their use in the complete analysis of convex optimization problems by means of a systematic four-step method. Lastly, it includes chapters on alternative formulations of optimality conditions and on illustrations of their use."The author deals with the delicate subjects in a precise yet light-minded spirit... For experts in the field, this book not only offers a unifying view, but also opens a door to new discoveries in convexity and optimization...perfectly suited for classroom teaching."

Review "The book is a valuable contribution to the topic of convex analysis. … A seasoned researcher in convex analysis and optimization will find this book more of a curiosity of possible interest. … Numerous examples and exercises are supplied at the end of each chapter. This book will provide a useful companion to other books on convex analysis and optimization when developing an introductory course in the area." (Andrew C. Eberhard, Mathematical Reviews, August 2022) Feature Presents a unified novel three-step method for all constructions, formulas and proofs of the important classic notions of convexity Includes numerous exercises and illustrations to stimulate learning by doing and seeing Written in a narrative style with short sections and concise proofs Details ISBN3030418030 Author Jan Brinkhuis Short Title Convex Analysis for Optimization Language English Year 2020 ISBN-10 3030418030 ISBN-13 9783030418038 Format Hardcover Subtitle A Unified Approach DOI 10.1007/978-3-030-41804-5 Pages 257 Publication Date 2020-05-06 UK Release Date 2020-05-06 Edition 1st Place of Publication Cham Country of Publication Switzerland Illustrations 92 Illustrations, black and white; XXVII, 257 p. 92 illus.
