Download or read book Homotopy of Extremal Problems written by Stanislav V. Emelyanov and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides a thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values that remain unchanged under changes of the parameter. The authors consider the theory as well the practical treatment of those problems, both in finite-dimensional as well as in infinite-dimensional spaces. Various applications are considered, e.g., variational calculus, control theory and bifurcations theory. Thorough treatment of parameter-dependent extremal problems with local minimum values. Includes many applications, e.g., variational calculus, control theory and bifurcations theory. Intended for specialists in the field of nonlinear analysis and its applications as well as for students specializing in these subjects.
