SET-VALUED ANALYSIS (ISSN: 0927-6947)

Description

Set-Valued Analysis is an international journal devoted to all aspects of mathematical analysis involving multifunctions (otherwise called set-valued maps) and topics related to them. The journal publishes high-quality peer-reviewed original papers. Only exceptionally it will also publish very authoritative expository and survey articles on subjects of special interest. Set-valued analysis is now widely recognized to be one of the most unifying powerful and versatile tools of contemporary mathematical analysis having numerous applications in different branches of pure and applied mathematics. No existing journal is entirely devoted to this important discipline. Set-Valued Analysis fills this gap. Since the journal aims to serve not only the international community of specialists but also that of users of set-valued analysis (promoting in such way a strong interaction between them) particular emphasis is placed on applications of it on the nature of which no restriction is imposed in principle. Accordingly the journal also publishes papers which although not directly contributing to set-valued analysis contain however significant results (from any field) obtained by making an essential and well stressed use of methods and results of set-valued analysis. The scope of the journal includes: set-valued calculus in the most comprehensive sense (continuity derivatives measurability integration of multifunctions tangent cones subdifferential and generalized gradients local and global inverse/implicit function theorems etc.) topologies on hyperspaces set convergences (including graphical and epigraphical convergences) selections and parametrizations fixed points of multifunctions differential integral and operator inclusions viability theory multifunctions of special type (set-valued monotone operators convex processes metric projections etc.) multifunctions and geometry of Banach spaces random set-valued analysis (including set-valued measures) applications of set-valued analysis to: optimization and control theory; calculus of variations; nonlinear functional analysis; mathematical economics; mathematical programming; game theory (including both differential and dynamical games); interval analysis; probability and statistics; operations research; continuum mechanics; elasticity; engineering (mainly inverse and identification problems); mathematical morphology. Papers dealing with numerical aspects of set-valued analysis are also considered.
