Optimality conditions in convex optimization : a finite-dimensional view /

Covering the current state of the art, this book explores an important and central issue in convex optimization: optimality conditions. It focuses on finite dimensions to allow for much deeper results and a better understanding of the structures involved in a convex optimization problem.
