Description
Optimization Theory for Economics and Beyond This book provides a comprehensive introduction to optimization theory, its applications in economics and related fields, and its fundamental principles. The first part explores the existence of solutions to optimization problems in n-dimensional space, while the second part examines how these solutions change with changes in underlying parameters. The final part delves into dynamic programming, covering both finite- and infinite-horizon approaches. To ensure a solid foundation in optimization theory, the book includes a preliminary chapter and three appendices, designed to keep the subject mathematically self-contained. With its clear explanations and in-depth coverage, this book is an ideal resource for students and professionals seeking to understand the principles of optimization theory.
