Assoc.Prof. KASSAY Gabor, Ph.D., kassay@math.ubbcluj.ro
Aims
Getting some knowledges in convex analysis, especially those considered to be essential in the education of students at the post-graduate level.
Content
Algebraic properties of convex sets, algebraic properties of convex and quasiconvex functions. Topological properties of convex sets, topological properties of convex and quasiconvex functions. Dual representation of convex and quasiconvex functions. Applications: minimax theorems and game theory, duality theory in optimization.
