Introduction to the Theory of Nonlinear Optimization

Focusing on optimization theory within normed spaces, the book delves into existence results and differentiability concepts, along with optimality conditions. It explores the contingent cone and generalizes the Lagrange multiplier rule, while also addressing duality theory. Additionally, it covers extended semidefinite optimization and examines linear quadratic and time minimal control problems, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding these advanced topics in optimization.
