This volume is the second of two volumes representing leading themes of current research in nonlinear analysis and optimization. The articles are written by prominent researchers in these two areas and bring the readers, advanced graduate students and researchers alike, to the frontline of the vigorous research in important fields of mathematics. This volume contains articles on optimization. Topics covered include the calculus of variations, constrained optimization problems, mathematical economics, metric regularity, nonsmooth analysis, optimal control, subdifferential calculus, time scales and transportation traffic. The companion volume (Contemporary Mathematics, Volume 513) is devoted to nonlinear analysis. This book is co-published with Bar-Ilan University (Ramat-Gan, Israel). Table of Contents: J.-P.

This book develops methods which explore some new interconnections and interrelations between Analysis and Topology and their applications. Emphasis is given to several recent results which have been obtained mainly during the last years and which cannot be found in other books in Nonlinear Analysis. Interest in this subject area has rapidly increased over the last decade, yet the presentation of research has been confined mainly to journal articles.

This book focuses on recent advances in nonlinear analysis and optimization with important applications drawn from various fields, such as artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms, optimization problems under uncertainty, and fuzzy logic. Specifically, it is devoted to nonlinear problems associated with optimization which have some connection with applications. The ideas and techniques developed here will serve to stimulate further research in this dynamic field, and, in this way, the book will become a valuable reference for researchers, engineers and students in the field of mathematics, management science, operations research, optimal control science and economics.

This book presents an extensive collection of state-of-the-art results and references in nonlinear functional analysis demonstrating how the generic approach proves to be very useful in solving many interesting and important problems. Nonlinear analysis plays an ever-increasing role in theoretical and applied mathematics, as well as in many other areas of science such as engineering, statistics, computer science, economics, finance, and medicine. The text may be used as supplementary material for graduate courses in nonlinear functional analysis, optimization theory and approximation theory, and is a treasure trove for instructors, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics and in the mathematical sciences. Each chapter is self-contained; proofs are solid and carefully communicated. Genericity in Nonlinear Analysis is the first book to systematically present the generic approach to nonlinear analysis. Topics presented include convergence analysis of powers and infinite products via the Baire Category Theorem, fixed point theory of both single- and set-valued mappings, best approximation problems, discrete and continuous descent methods for minimization in a general Banach space, and the structure of minimal energy configurations with rational numbers in the Aubry–Mather theory.

This book consists of nine papers covering a number of basic ideas, concepts, and methods of nonlinear analysis, as well as some current research problems. Thus, the reader is introduced to the fascinating theory around Brouwer's fixed point theorem, to Granas' theory of topological transversality, and to some advanced techniques of critical point theory and fixed point theory. Other topics include discontinuous differential equations, new results of metric fixed point theory, robust tracker design problems for various classes of nonlinear systems, and periodic solutions in computer virus propagation models.
