There are a number of excellent texts available on semi-classical analysis. The focus of the present monograph, however, is an aspect of the subject somewhat less systematically developed in other texts: In semi-classical analysis, many of the basic results involve asymptotic ex…
This book focuses on Augmented Lagrangian techniques for solving practical constrained optimization problems. The authors: rigorously delineate mathematical convergence theory based on sequential optimality conditions and novel constraint qualifications; orient the book to pract…
