In this book binary functions and their representation by implicants or implicates are described. In particular minimal representations by prime implicants or prime implicates are given. Such representations generalize the minimal representations of the usual Boolean functions. It is shown that...

As a new type of technique, simplicial methods have yielded extremely important contributions toward solutions of a system of nonlinear equations. Theoretical investigations and numerical tests have shown that the performance of simplicial methods depends critically on the triangulations...

This book presents recent theoretical and practical aspects in the field of optimization and convex analysis. The topics covered in this volume include: - Equilibrium models in economics. - Control theory and semi-infinite programming. - Ill-posed variational problems. - Global optimization. -...
