Belmont: Athena Scientific, 2009. - 258p.
This book aims at an accessible, concise, and intuitive exposition of two
related subjects that find broad practical application:
(a) Convex analysis, particularly as it relates to optimization.
(b) Duality theory for optimization and minimax problems, mainly within
a convexity framework.
The focus on optimization is to derive conditions for existence of primal
and dual optimal solutions for constrained problems.
