Category:Variational analysis

Following the book Variational Analysis by Rockafellar and Wets, the term "variational analysis" denotes an extension of the classic calculus of variations and convex analysis to more general problems of optimization theory, including topics in set-valued analysis, e.g. generalized derivatives. In the Mathematics Subject Classification scheme (MSC2010), the field of "Set-valued and variational analysis" is coded by "49J53".
