Recent Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization

This thematic series is devoted to publish the latest and significant results in nonlinear analysis and optimization. Its goals are to stimulate further research and to highlight recent advances in these fields as well as to promote, encourage, and bring together researchers in the fields of nonlinear analysis and optimization. In the last two decades, the theory of fixed point theory and related topics emerged as a rapidly growing area of research because of its applications in nonlinear analysis, optimization, economics, game theory, etc. In the recent past, many authors devoted their attention to study the fixed point theory and related topics, namely, variational inequalities, optimization and games. Many new results, including theory, methods and applications, have been developed during the recent years. This special issue aims to promote the exchange of ideas between researchers and to spread new trends in these areas.
