Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques and principles of minimax theory play a key role in many areas of research, including game theory, optimization, and computational complexity. In general, a minimax problem can be formulated as min max f(x, y) (1) ",EX !lEY where f(x, y) is a function defined on the product of X and Y spaces. There are two basic issues regarding minimax problems: The first issue concerns the establishment of sufficient and necessary conditions for equality minmaxf(x,y) = maxminf(x,y). (2) "'EX !lEY !lEY "'EX The classical minimax theorem of von Neumann is a result of this type. Duality theory in linear and convex quadratic programming interprets minimax theory in a different way. The second issue concerns the establishment of sufficient and necessary conditions for values of the variables x and y that achieve the global minimax function value f(x*, y*) = minmaxf(x, y). (3) "'EX !lEY There are two developments in minimax theory that we would like to mention.

Book Synopsis Minimax Theorems and Qualitative Properties of the Solutions of Hemivariational Inequalities by : Dumitru Motreanu
Download or read book Minimax Theorems and Qualitative Properties of the Solutions of Hemivariational Inequalities written by Dumitru Motreanu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boundary value problems which have variational expressions in form of inequal ities can be divided into two main classes. The class of boundary value prob lems (BVPs) leading to variational inequalities and the class of BVPs leading to hemivariational inequalities. The first class is related to convex energy functions and has being studied over the last forty years and the second class is related to nonconvex energy functions and has a shorter research "life" beginning with the works of the second author of the present book in the year 1981. Nevertheless a variety of important results have been produced within the framework of the theory of hemivariational inequalities and their numerical treatment, both in Mathematics and in Applied Sciences, especially in Engineering. It is worth noting that inequality problems, i. e. BVPs leading to variational or to hemivariational inequalities, have within a very short time had a remarkable and precipitate development in both Pure and Applied Mathematics, as well as in Mechanics and the Engineering Sciences, largely because of the possibility of applying and further developing new and efficient mathematical methods in this field, taken generally from convex and/or nonconvex Nonsmooth Analy sis. The evolution of these areas of Mathematics has facilitated the solution of many open questions in Applied Sciences generally, and also allowed the formu lation and the definitive mathematical and numerical study of new classes of interesting problems.
Book Synopsis Minimax Theory and Applications by : Biagio Ricceri
Download or read book Minimax Theory and Applications written by Biagio Ricceri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains the proceedings of the workshop on "Minimax Theory and Applications" that was held during the week 30 September - 6 October 1996 at the "G. Stampacchia" International School of Mathematics of the "E. Majorana" Centre for Scientific Cul ture in Erice (Italy) . The main theme of the workshop was minimax theory in its most classical meaning. That is to say, given a real-valued function f on a product space X x Y , one tries to find conditions that ensure the validity of the equality sup inf f(x,y) = inf sup f(x, y). yEY xEX xEX yEY This is not an appropriate place to enter into the technical details of the proofs of minimax theorems, or into the history of the contribu tions to the solution of this basic problem in the last 7 decades. But we do want to stress its intrinsic interest and point out that, in spite of its extremely simple formulation, it conceals a great wealth of ideas. This is clearly shown by the large variety of methods and tools that have been used to study it. The applications of minimax theory are also extremely interesting. In fact, the need for the ability to "switch quantifiers" arises in a seemingly boundless range of different situations. So, the good quality of a minimax theorem can also be judged by its applicability. We hope that this volume will offer a rather complete account of the state of the art of the subject.
Book Synopsis Minimax Methods in Critical Point Theory with Applications to Differential Equations by : Paul H. Rabinowitz
Download or read book Minimax Methods in Critical Point Theory with Applications to Differential Equations written by Paul H. Rabinowitz and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1986-07-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an introduction to minimax methods in critical point theory and shows their use in existence questions for nonlinear differential equations. An expanded version of the author's 1984 CBMS lectures, this volume is the first monograph devoted solely to these topics. Among the abstract questions considered are the following: the mountain pass and saddle point theorems, multiple critical points for functionals invariant under a group of symmetries, perturbations from symmetry, and variational methods in bifurcation theory. The book requires some background in functional analysis and differential equations, especially elliptic partial differential equations. It is addressed to mathematicians interested in differential equations and/or nonlinear functional analysis, particularly critical point theory.
Book Synopsis Mathematical Statistics by : Aleksandr Petrovich Korostelev
Download or read book Mathematical Statistics written by Aleksandr Petrovich Korostelev and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: iPositive Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for life. Such is the approach of iPositive. One day at the gym doesnt make a person fit for life; its a consistent dedication to getting the body in shape that eventually yields results. The lessons in iPositive work in much the same way: They challenge the reader to work to keep the mind in shape. The book is a powerful guide to personal happiness through positivity. Its concepts provide empowerment to overcome self-doubt, disbelief and inferiority complexes in order to transcend the negativity in life. iPositive is geared toward helping individuals become more focused on the things they most want in life, like happiness, love and success, or banish anchors that may be weighting them down, like stress, smoking or excess weight. The book gives readers the practical means to become more focused on those things they want in life, and serves as an inspirational manual for a life of fulfillment, and strength in body, mind and spirit.

Book Synopsis Foundations of Game Theory by : Nicolai N. Vorob'ev
Download or read book Foundations of Game Theory written by Nicolai N. Vorob'ev and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English edition differs only slightly from the Russian original. The main struc tural difference is that all the material on the theory of finite noncooperative games has been collected in Chapter 2, with renumbering of the material of the remain ing chapters. New sections have been added in this chapter: devoted to general questions of equilibrium theory in nondegenerate games, subsections 3.9-3.17, by N.N. Vorob'ev, Jr.; and § 4, by A.G. Chernyakov; and § 5, by N.N. Vorob'ev, Jr., on the computational complexity of the process of finding equilibrium points in finite games. It should also be mentioned that subsections 3.12-3.14 in Chapter 1 were written by E.B. Yanovskaya especially for the Russian edition. The author regrets that the present edition does not reflect the important game-theoretical achievements presented in the splendid monographs by E. van Damme (on the refinement of equilibrium principles for finite games), as well as those by J.e. Harsanyi and R. Selten, and by W. Giith and B. Kalkofen (on equilibrium selection). When the Russian edition was being written, these direc tions in game theory had not yet attained their final form, which appeared only in quite recent monographs; the present author has had to resist the temptation of attempting to produce an elementary exposition of the new theories for the English edition; readers of this edition will find only brief mention of the new material.
