Conjugate Duality and Optimization Steven S. Sharfstein In their private thoughts andThis monograph provides a relatively brief introduction to conjugate duality in both finite and infinite dimensional problems. Emphasizes the fundamental importance of the concepts of Lagrangian function, saddle point, and saddle value. General examples are drawn from nonlinear programming, approximation, stochastic programming, the calculus of variations, and optimal control.
