Nonlinear Optimlzation in Finite Dimensions: Morse Theory, Chebyshev Approximation, Transversality, Flows, Parametric Aspects (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications)

Nonlinear Optimization in Finite Dimensions The topology of global optimization is treated in detail in this text. Moreover, three further basic subjects in nonlinear optimization are treated: stability and sensitivity, gradient - and Newton's differential equations and, finally, parametric aspects.
