This monograph provides a relatively brief introduction to conjugate duality in both finite- and infinite-dimensional problems. Emphasizes the fundamental importance of the concepts of Lagrangian function, saddle-point, and saddle-value. General examples are drawn from nonlinear programming, approximation, stochastic programming, the calculus of variations, and optimal control.
