Semi-Infinite Programming

the long version

This volume provides an outstanding collection of tutorial and survey articles on semi-infinite programming by leading researchers. While the literature on semi-infinite programming has grown enormously, an up-to-date book on this exciting area of optimization has been sorely lacking. The volume is divided into three parts. The first part, Theory, includes an analysis of sensitivity and stability properties and a discussion of parameter-dependent problems. A comprehensive survey of existing methods and a discussion of connections with semi-definite programming are topics in the second part, Numerical Methods. Investigations of special problems from signal processing, reliability testing, and control theory make up the final part, Applications. Audience: This book is an indispensable reference and source for advanced students and researchers in applied mathematics and engineering.
