This book is devoted to finite-dimensional problems of non-convex non-smooth optimization and numerical methods for their solution. The problem of nonconvexity is studied in the book on two main models of nonconvex dependencies: these are…
For a real analytic complex vector field $L$ in an open set of $\mathbb{R}^2$, with local first integrals that are open maps, we attach a number $\mu \ge 1$ (obtained through Lojasiewicz inequalities) and show that the equation $Lu=f$ has…
In this paper we develop a new set of results based on a nonlocal gradient jointly inspired by the Riesz s-fractional gradient and Peridynamics, in the sense that its integration domain depends on a ball of radius delta > 0 (horizon of…

In this paper we obtain some extensions of the classical Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality. The novelty is that we consider functions that do not necessarily satisfy an infinitesimal equation but rather exhibit a two-scale behavior. We…
This paper explores a new class of constrained difference programming problems, where the objective and constraints are formulated as differences of functions, without requiring their convexity. To investigate such problems, novel variants…
An iterative optimization method applied to a function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ will produce a sequence of arguments $\{\mathbf{x}_k\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$; this sequence is often constrained such that $\{f(\mathbf{x}_k)\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$…
