Analysis, Approximation, Optimization: Computation and Applications (Hardcover)

This contributed volume is dedicated to Academician Gradimir V. Milovanović on his 75^th birthday and contains recent results in the fields of approximation theory, numerical analysis, mathematical analysis, optimization theory, and various applications of an interdisciplinary character.

Most of these results were presented in person during an International Conference “Analysis, Approximations and Applications" (AAA2023), organized by the Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac in Vrnjačka Banja, Serbia (June 21-24, 2023).

This book is intended for researchers and students of mathematics and other computational and applied sciences.

This book provides surveys of state of the art results in the fields of Extremal Problems, Optimization and Calculus of Variations; Orthogonal Systems and Quadrature Formulas; Differential and Integral Equations, Integral Transforms and Operation Calculus; Analytic Number Theory and Special Functions; Real and Complex Functions, Sequences, Series, Approximations and Expansions; Functional Analysis, Operator Theory, Fixed Point Theory and Iterative Processes, as well as in Miscellaneous Applications.
