Topological Methods in Complementarity Theory

by G. Isac

Overview

Complementarity theory is a new domain in applied mathematics and is concerned with the study of complementarity problems. These problems represent a wide class of mathematical models related to optimization, game theory, economic engineering, mechanics, fluid mechanics, shastic optimal control etc. The book is dedicated to the study of nonlinear complementarity problems by topological methods.
Audience: Mathematicians, engineers, economists, specialists working in operations research and anybody interested in applied mathematics or in mathematical modeling.
