The book discusses three classes of problems: the generalized Nash equilibrium problems, the bilevel problems and the mathematical programming with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). These problems interact through their mathematical analysis as well as their applications. The primary aim of the book is to present the modern tool of variational analysis and optimization, which are used to analyze these three classes of problems. All contributing authors are respected academicians, scientists and researchers from around the globe. These contributions are based on the lectures delivered by experts at CIMPA School, held at the University of Delhi, India, from 25 November–6 December 2013, and peer-reviewed by international experts. The book contains five chapters. Chapter 1 deals with nonsmooth, nonconvex bilevel optimization problems whose feasible set is described by using the graph of the solution set mapping of a parametric optimization problem. Chapter 2 describes a constraint qualification to MPECs considered as an application of calmness concept of multifunctions and is used to derive M-stationarity conditions for MPEC. Chapter 3 discusses the first- and second-order optimality conditions derived for a special case of a bilevel optimization problem in which the constraint set of the lower level problem is described as a general compact convex set. Chapter 4 concentrates the results of the modelization and analysis of deregulated electricity markets with a focus on auctions and mechanism design. Chapter 5 focuses on optimization approaches called reflection methods for protein conformation determination within the framework of matrix completion. The last chapter (Chap. 6) deals with the single-valuedness of quasimonotone maps by using the concept of single-directionality with a special focus on the case of the normal operator of lower semi-continuous quasiconvex functions.

This book describes recent theoretical findings relevant to bilevel programming in general, and in mixed-integer bilevel programming in particular. It describes recent applications in energy problems, such as the stochastic bilevel optimization approaches used in the natural gas industry. New algorithms for solving linear and mixed-integer bilevel programming problems are presented and explained.

Starting with the fundamentals of classical smooth optimization and building on established convex programming techniques, this research monograph presents a foundation and methodology for modern nonconvex nondifferentiable optimization. It provides readers with theory, methods, and applications of nonconvex and nondifferentiable optimization in statistical estimation, operations research, machine learning, and decision making. A comprehensive and rigorous treatment of this emergent mathematical topic is urgently needed in today’s complex world of big data and machine learning. This book takes a thorough approach to the subject and includes examples and exercises to enrich the main themes, making it suitable for classroom instruction. Modern Nonconvex Nondifferentiable Optimization is intended for applied and computational mathematicians, optimizers, operations researchers, statisticians, computer scientists, engineers, economists, and machine learners. It could be used in advanced courses on optimization/operations research and nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization.

This book is devoted to one of the main questions of the theory of extremal problems, namely, to necessary and sufficient extremality conditions. The book consists of four parts. First, the abstract minimization problem with constraints is studied. The next chapter is devoted to one of the most important classes of extremal problems, the optimal control problem. Next, one of the main objects of the calculus of variations is studied, the integral quadratic form. Finally, local properties of smooth nonlinear mappings in a neighborhood of an abnormal point will be discussed. Audience: The book is intended for researchers interested in optimization problems. The book may also be useful for advanced students and postgraduate students.
