Recent Developments in Optimization Theory and Nonlinear Analysis: Ams/Imu Special Session on Optimization and Nonlinear Analysis, May 24-26, 1995, Jerusalem, Israel

The proceedings from the May 1995 special session presenting work in the field of optimization theory and nonlinear analysis. The 15 papers detail a diversity of results and connections to differential equations, functional analysis, and mathematical programming, covering topics in convex, quasiconvex and generalized convex functions, fixed and periodic points, fractional-linear transformations, moduli of convexity, monotone operators, Morse lemmas, Navier-Stokes equations, nonexpansive maps, nonsmooth analysis, numerical stability, steepest descent, and variational inequalities.
