This book provides a comprehensive review of canonical duality that includes overview of its theory, its philogophical origin, physics foundation, and mathematical statements in both finite- and infinitie-dimensional spaces. With 18 total papers inspired by a colloquium talk presented by David Gao at the University of California, Berkeley in 2013, this volume emphasizes canonical duality theory’s role in bridging the gap between solid mechanics and global optimization. Additionally, readers will find algorithms for solving challenging problems in complex systems with applications in nonconvex analysis, variational inequalities, large deformation problems, global optimization, and computational mechanics. Researchers and graduate students will find explanation and potential applications in multi-disciplinary fields.
