Convex And Stochastic Optimization

Download or read book Convex and Stochastic Optimization written by J. Frédéric Bonnans and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an introduction to convex duality for optimization problems in Banach spaces, integration theory, and their application to stochastic programming problems in a static or dynamic setting. It introduces and analyses the main algorithms for stochastic programs, while the theoretical aspects are carefully dealt with. The reader is shown how these tools can be applied to various fields, including approximation theory, semidefinite and second-order cone programming and linear decision rules. This textbook is recommended for students, engineers and researchers who are willing to take a rigorous approach to the mathematics involved in the application of duality theory to optimization with uncertainty.
