Nondifferentiable Optimization: Motivations and Applications: Proceedings of an IIASA (International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) Workshop on Nondifferentiable Optimization Held at Sopron, Hungary, September 17-22, 1984

The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria, has been involved in research on nondifferentiable optimization since 1976. IIASA-based East-West cooperation in this field has been very productive, leading to many important theoretical, algorithmic and applied results. Nondifferentiable optimi­ zation has now become a recognized and rapidly developing branch of mathematical programming. To continue this tradition, and to review recent developments in ...
