Studies in generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity have significantly increased during the last two decades. Researchers with very diverse backgrounds such as mathematical programming, optimization theory, convex analysis, nonlinear analysis, nonsmooth analysis, linear algebra, probability theory, variational inequalities, game theory, economic theory, engineering, management science, equilibrium analysis, for example are attracted to this fast growing field of study. Such enormous research activity is partially due to the discovery of a rich, elegant and deep theory which provides a basis for interesting existing and potential applications in different disciplines. The handbook offers an advanced and broad overview of the current state of the field. It contains fourteen chapters written by the leading experts on the respective subject; eight on generalized convexity and the remaining six on generalized monotonicity.

This text is dedicated to the memory of Steven Vajda, one of the pioneers of mathematical programming, who was born in Hungary. The 22 invited chapters written by 36 authors from 12 countries provide the reader with an insight into some advances in mathematical programming. The book is addressed to researchers and postgraduate students with an interest in the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the field.

Generalizations of the classical concept of a convexfunction have been proposed in various fields such aseconomics, management science, engineering, statistics andapplied sciences during the second half of this century. Inaddition to new results in more established areas ofgeneralized convexity, this book presents several importantdevelopments in recently emerging areas. Also, a number ofinteresting applications are reported.
