Synopsis
This self-contained monograph presents methods for the investigation of nonlinear variational problems. These methods are based on geometric and topological ideas such as topological index, degree of a mapping, Morse-Conley index, Euler characteristics, deformation invariant, homotopic invariant, and the Lusternik-Shnirelman category. Attention is also given to applications in optimisation, mathematical physics, control, and numerical methods.
Audience: This volume will be of interest to specialists in functional analysis and its applications, and can also be recommended as a text for graduate and postgraduate-level courses in these fields.

Review
"... the book is a valuable contribution to the literature. It is well-written, self-contained and it has an extensive bibliography, especially with regard to the literature in the Russian language."

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the building of all the Universe is perfect and is cre ated by the wisdom Creator, nothing arises in the Universe in which one cannot see the sense of some maXImum or mInImUm Euler God moves the Universe along geometrical lines Plato Mathematical models of most closed physical systems are based on vari ational principles, i.e., it is postulated that equations describing the evolu tion of a system are the Euler~Lagrange equations of a certain functional. In this connection, variational methods are one of the basic tools for studying many problems of natural sciences. The first problems related to the search for extrema appeared as far back as in ancient mathematics. They go back to Archimedes, Appolonius, and Euclid. In many respects, the problems of seeking maxima and minima have stimulated the creation of differential calculus; the variational prin ciples of optics and mechanics, which were discovered in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, gave impetus to an intensive development of the calculus of variations. In one way or another, variational problems were of interest to such giants of natural sciences as Fermat, Newton, Descartes, Euler, Huygens, 1. Bernoulli, J. Bernoulli, Legendre, Jacobi, Kepler, La grange, and Weierstrass. 564 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9789401059558
