Parametric Optimization: Singularities, Pathfollowing and Jumps

This volume is intended for readers who, whether they be mathematicians, workers in other fields or students, are familiar with the basic approaches and methods of mathematical optimization. The subject matter is concerned with optimization problems in which some or all of the individual data involved depend on one parameter. Such problems are called one-parametric optimization problems. Solution algorithms for such problems are of interest for several reasons. We consider here mainly appli...
