Though the volume covers 22 papers by 36 authors from 12 countries, the history in the background is bound to Hungary where, in 1973 Andras Pnkopa started to lay the foundation of a scientific forum, which can be a regular meeting spot for experts of the world in the field.

Industries rely more and more on advanced technology.

Semi-infinite programming (briefly: SIP) is an exciting part of mathematical programming.

The use of optimization techniques has become integral to the design and analysis of most industrial and socio-economic systems.

Due to the general complementary convex structure underlying most nonconvex optimization problems encountered in applications, convex analysis plays an essential role in the development of global optimization methods.

Computer Science and Operations Research continue to have a synergistic relationship and this book - as a part of the Operations Research and Computer Science Interface Series - sits squarely in the center of the confluence of these two technical research communities.

Spatiotemporal Environmental Health Modelling: A Tractatus Stochasticus provides a holistic, conceptual and quantitative framework for Environmental Health Modelling in space-time.

Targeted audience * Specialists in numerical computations, especially in numerical optimiza- tion, who are interested in designing algorithms with automatie result ver- ification, and who would therefore be interested in knowing how general their algorithms caIi in principle be.

This book is intended as an introductory text on the subject of Lie groups and algebras and their role in various fields of mathematics and physics.

One criterion for classifying books is whether they are written for a single purpose or for multiple purposes.

We will occasionally footnote a portion of text with a "e;**,, to indicate Notes on the that this portion can be initially bypassed.

This book summarizes a network of interrelated ideas which I have developed, off and on, over the past eight or ten years.

This book has recently been  retypeset in LaTeX for clearer presentation.

This book has been written for several reasons, not all of which are academic.

In science, engineering and economics, decision problems are frequently modelled by optimizing the value of a (primary) objective function under stated feasibility constraints.

axiomatic results should be at the heart of such a science.

The textbook is intended for teaching MATLAB language and its applications.

This book presents the adaptation of cause-effect structures to the formal description of phenomena such as the behaviour of living objects, the mutual communication of living cells, but also such as the growth of crystals and other natural processes.
