Duality Principles in Nonconvex Systems : Theory, Methods, and Applications (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications, 39)

Offers a comprehensive mathematical theory of duality for general non-convex, non-smooth systems, with emphasis on methods and applications in engineering mechanics. This book covers topics such as the classical (minimax) mono-duality of convex static equilibria, the bi-duality in dynamical systems, and the tri-duality in non-convex problems.
