This book is devoted to the study of scalar and asymptotic scalar derivatives and their applications to some problems in nonlinear analysis, Riemannian geometry and applied mathematics. The theoretical results are developed in particular with respect to the study of complementarity problems, monotonicity of nonlinear mappings and the non-gradient type monotonicity on Riemannian manifolds.

Presents the theory and applications of scalar and asymptotic derivatives Systematic, clear and coherent presentation Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
