Lecture Notes in Mathematics Optimization: Proceedings of the Fifth French-German Conference Held in Castel-Novel (Varetz), France, Oct. 3-8, 1988, Book 1405, (Paperback)

The 2-yearly French-German Conferences on Optimization review the state-of-the-art and the trends in the field. The proceedings of the Fifth Conference include papers on projective methods in linear programming (special session at the conference), nonsmooth optimization, two-level optimization, multiobjective optimization, partial inverse method, variational convergence, Newton type algorithms and flows and on practical applications of optimization. A. Ioffe and J.-Ph. Vial have contributed survey papers on, respectively second order optimality conditions and projective methods in linear programming.
