Equilibrium Problems and Applications - by Gábor Kassay & Vicenț & iu Ră & dulescu (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Equilibrium Problems and Applications develops a unified variational approach to deal with single-valued, set-valued and quasi-equilibrium problems. The authors promote original results in relationship with classical contributions to the field of equilibrium problems. The content evolved in the general setting of topological vector spaces and it lies at the interplay between pure and applied nonlinear analysis, mathematical economics, and mathematical physics.

This abstract approach is based on tools from various fields, including set-valued analysis, variational and hemivariational inequalities, fixed point theory, and optimization. Applications include models from mathematical economics, Nash equilibrium of non-cooperative games, and Browder variational inclusions. The content is self-contained and the book is mainly addressed to researchers in mathematics, economics and mathematical physics as well as to graduate students in applied nonlinear analysis.

Review Quotes

"The book is a good introduction into one of the important parts of contemporary applied nonlinear analysis. It contains the explanations of the necessary mathematical tools and thus can be used as a manual for graduate and post-graduate students in theoretical and applied mathematics." --zbMATH Open

"Text for graduate-level study of mathematical economics as well as mathematical treatment in the social sciences explores research on general equilibrium models, developing a unified variational approach to deal with single-valued, set-valued, and quasi-equilibrium problems." --Journal of Economic Literature
