This book provides a systematic and comprehensive account of asymptotic sets and functions from which a broad and useful theory emerges in the areas of optimization and variational inequalities. It will be useful to advanced graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of optimization theory, nonlinear programming, and applied mathematical sciences.
