Extremum problems for bounded univalent functions
by Tammi, Olli
fromLecture notes in mathematics
This book presents a theory of necessary conditions for an extremum, including formal conditions for an extremum and computational methods. It states the general results of the theory and shows how these results can be particularized to specific problems.
