8th International Symposium on Generalized Convexity/Monotonicity

Topics. Generalizations of convex functions have been introduced in various areas such as mathematical programming, economics, management science, engineering, stochastics and applied sciences. Likewise different kinds of generalized monotonicity have been proposed, for instance for variational inequalities and equilibrium problems. Such models are considerably more adaptable to describe real-world situations than their convex/monotone counterpart. A growing literature in this interdisciplinary field has appeared, including the proceedings of the seven preceding international symposia since 1980. The Symposium is organized by the international Working Group on Generalized Convexity (www.genconv.org), a growing affiliation of applied mathematicians and other interdisciplinary researchers which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The Symposium provides a forum to review the latest developments in the field.
