Convexity and Well-Posed Problems / Edition 1

From the Publisher

"In this book the author focuses on the study of convex functions and their properties under perturbations of data. In particular, he illustrates the ideas of stability and well-posedness and the connections between them. … This book is intended for graduate students and researchers especially in mathematics, physics and economics; to facilitate its use as a textbook, the author has included many exercises and examples of different levels of difficulty." (Davide La Torre, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 h)

"This book studies convex functions in Banach spaces and the stable behavior under perturbations of the optimization problems associated to them. … An interesting feature of the book is the inclusion of some topics, like elements of game theory, hypertopologies and genericity of well-posedness, not usually found in textbooks devoted to convexity and optimization. … several useful examples, comments and remarks scattered throughout, and over 120 exercises of varying level difficulty. This book is suitable for graduate courses on convex optimization from a mathematical standpoint." (Tullio Zolezzi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1106 (8), 2007)
