About The Book
"Optimization Theory: An Introduction" by V. F. Dem’Yanov offers a comprehensive and user-friendly introduction to a crucial area of optimization theory, bridging the gap between approximation theory and both linear and nonlinear mathematical programming. Written by a distinguished mathematician, this expert text delves into the essential principles of optimization theory, offering valuable background material, examples, and extensive notes to enhance the learning experience.

Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematical programming, this text explores important topics such as best approximation by algebraic polynomials, both in discrete and continuous cases. It covers the discrete problem, with and without constraints, the generalized problem of nonlinear programming, and the continuous minimax problem.

In addition, several appendices provide further insight into subjects like algebraic interpolation, convex sets and functions, and other foundational topics in optimization. With 320 pages of well-organized material, this book serves as an indispensable resource for those seeking to understand the core concepts of optimization theory. Its manageable dimensions (8.4 x 5.9 x 0.7 inches) make it easy to carry and reference during study or research.
