Quasidifferentiability and Nonsmooth Modelling in Mechanics, Engineering and Economics

by P.D. Panagiotopoulos, V.F. Dem'yanov, L.N. Polyakova, et al.

Book Overview

Nonsmooth energy functions govern phenomena which occur frequently in nature and in all areas of life. They constitute a fascinating subject in mathematics and permit the rational understanding of yet unsolved or partially solved questions in mechanics, engineering and economics.
This is the first book to provide a complete and rigorous presentation of the quasidifferentiability approach to nonconvex, possibly nonsmooth, energy functions, of...
