Description
Springer Functional Analysis And Applied Optimization In Banach Spaces Applications To Non-Convex Variational Models 2014 Edition by Fabio Botelho
This book introduces the basic concepts of real and functional analysis. It presents the fundamentals of the calculus of variations convex analysis duality and optimization that are necessary to develop applications to physics and engineering problems. The book includes introductory and advanced concepts in measure and integration as well as an introduction to Sobolev spaces. The problems presented are nonlinear with non-convex variational formulation. Notably the primal global minima may not be attained in some situations in which cases the solution of the dual problem corresponds to an appropriate weak cluster point of minimizing sequences for the primal one. Indeed the dual approach more readily facilitates numerical computations for some of the selected models. While intended primarily for applied mathematicians the text will also be of interest to engineers physicists and other researchers in related fields. Table of contents : 1.
