Description for Quasidifferentiability and Nonsmooth Modelling in Mechanics, Engineering and Economics
Hardback. Nonsmooth energy functions govern phenomena which occur frequently in nature and in various areas of life. This book presents the quasidifferentiability approach to nonconvex, possibly nonsmooth, energy functions; and the derivation and study of the corresponding variational expressions in mechanics, engineering and economics. Series: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications. Num Pages: 367 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBU; PBW; UM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1540.
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 the derivation and study of the corresponding variational expressions in mechanics, engineering and economics, and of their numerical treatment. The new variational formulations derived are ... Read more

Reviews for Quasidifferentiability and Nonsmooth Modelling in Mechanics, Engineering and Economics
`... In view of the growing number of recent publications dealing with nonsmooth and set-valued modelling ... this book, which was written by a multidisciplinary group of authors, seems to be the first attempt to make nonsmooth modelling and set-valued techniques accessible to applied scientists by presenting the quasidifferentiable approach by means of concrete applications. ...
