Conjugate Duality and Optimization (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics) (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)
Conjugate Duality and Optimization - CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics Author:R. Tyrrell Rockafellar Provides a relatively brief introduction to conjugate duality in both finite- and infinite-dimensional problems. An emphasis is placed on the fundamental importance of the concepts of Lagrangian function, saddle-point, and saddle-value. General examples are drawn from nonlinear programming, approximation, stochastic programming, the calculus of ... more »variations, and optimal control.« less
