Optimization on Metric and Normed Spaces Optimization on Metric and Normed Spaces is devoted to the recent progress in optimization on Banach spaces and complete metric spaces. Optimization problems are usually considered on metric spaces satisfying certain compactness assumptions which guarantee the existence of solutions and convergence of algorithms. This book considers spaces that do not satisfy such compactness assumptions. In order to overcome these difficulties the book uses the Baire category approach and considers approximate solutions. Therefore it presents a number of new results concerning penalty methods in constrained optimization existence of solutions in parametric optimization well posedness of vector minimization problems and many other results obtained in the last ten years. The book is intended for mathematicians interested in optimization and applied functional analysis.
