The special issue addresses core topics and recent results on generalized convexity, generalized monotonicity, variational analysis, optimization methods for nonconvex programming, and related applications on topics including, but not limited to, economics, regulated markets, performance measurement and bilevel programming.
Topics may also include new methods and applications of existing techniques in those application areas if those are supplemented by a thorough theoretical
analysis. The special issue may also contain state of the art results presented at the “14th International Symposium on Generalized Convexity and Monotonicity” held at the University of Pisa, Italy, September 2-6, 2024.
Optimization is abstracted and indexed also in: Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet; Science Citation Index Expanded; Zentralblatt MATH/Mathematics Abstracts.
