In this first volume manifolds with boundary and critical point theory play an important role. We focus our attention to topological aspects in nonlinear optimization. In this way, we do not treat numerical and algorithmic features; however, we believe that the present work will provide a good insight into nonlinear phenomenae and that it will be helpful in order to device computational strategies towards global optimization. In order to underline the geometry of our analysis, many figures are included. In a second volume, we treat structural stability, transversality, (gradient-, Newton-)flows and parametric aspects.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Signed. Signed and inscribed to previous owner by all three authors on the front free page. Previous owner was Steven Smale, an American mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966, and spent more than three decades on the mathematics faculty of the University of California, Berkeley (1960-61 and 1964-1995). In 1958, he astounded the mathematical world with a proof of a sphere eversion. He then cemented his reputation with a proof of the Poincare conjecture for all dimensions greater than or equal to 5; he later generalized the ideas in a 107 page paper that established the h-cobordism theorem. Lightly read. Minor wear on spine. Seller Inventory # 3007794
