The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry, physics, or engineering text focused on nano. It must be an integrated, multidisciplinary, and specifically nano t[...]

Covering the current state of the art, this book explores an important and central issue in convex optimization: optimality conditions. Although many results presented in the chapters can also be proved in infinite dimensions, the text focuses on finite dimensions to allow for much deeper results an[...]
