Even Convexity and Optimization Handling Strict Inequalities

EURO Advanced Tutorials on Operational Research Series Editors M. Grazia Speranza, Brescia, Italy José Fernando Oliveira, Porto, Portugal

The EURO Advanced Tutorials on Operational Research are a series of short books devoted to an advanced topic—a topic that is not treated in depth in available textbooks. The series covers comprehensively all aspects of Operations Research. The scope of a Tutorial is to provide an understanding of an advanced topic to young researchers, such as Ph.D. students or Post-docs, but also to senior researchers and practitioners. Tutorials may be used as textbooks in graduate courses.
