Characterizations of Generalized Convexity and Generalized Monotonicity, A Survey

  • Chapter
Generalized Convexity, Generalized Monotonicity: Recent Results

Part of the book series: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications ((NOIA,volume 27))

Abstract

First and second order characterizations of generalized convexity, and more recently, first order characterizations of generalized monotonicity have been the object of many papers. We present a state of the art on these questions.
