Proximal point algorithms by Censor and Zenios
Part I of this book starts with an aphorism,
attributed to H. von Helmholtz:
``The most practical thing in the world
is a good theory.''
The book does justice to von Helmholtz maxim.
The theory of Bregman distances is presented
in a clear, geometrical and intuitive way.
Part II of the book presents several important
and illustrative applications of Proximal Point
algorithms, to constrained optimization,
Maximum Entropy problems, financial stochastic
networks, and several other important areas.
