Convex Analysis and Beyond Volume I: Basic Theory

Convex Analysis and Beyond Volume I: Basic Theory by Boris S. Mordukhovich, Nguyen Mau Nam
English | EPUB | 2022 | 597 Pages | ISBN : 303094784X | 54.3 MB

This book presents a unified theory of convex functions, sets, and set-valued mappings in topological vector spaces with its specifications to locally convex, Banach and finite-dimensional settings. These developments and expositions are based on the powerful geometric approach of variational analysis, which resides on set extremality with its characterizations and specifications in the presence of convexity. Using this approach, the text consolidates the device of fundamental facts of generalized differential calculus to obtain novel results for convex sets, functions, and set-valued mappings in finite and infinite dimensions. It also explores topics beyond convexity using the fundamental machinery of convex analysis to develop nonconvex generalized differentiation and its applications.

Benchmarking for Performance Evaluation: A Production Frontier Approach by Subhash C. Ray, Subal C. Kumbhakar, Pami Dua
English | PDF | 2015 | 292 Pages | ISBN : 8132222520 | 17.2 MB

This book provides a detailed introduction to the theoretical and methodological foundations of production efficiency analysis using benchmarking. Two of the more popular methods of efficiency evaluation are Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), both of which are based on the concept of a production possibility set and its frontier. Depending on the assumed objectives of the decision-making unit, a Production, Cost, or Profit Frontier is constructed from observed data on input and output quantities and prices.
