Book sequence on convex analysis

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking rigorous texts on convex analysis with prior exposure to the subject, Rockafellar's "Convex Analysis" and Fenchel's "Convex Cones, Sets and Functions" are considered foundational works. However, modern alternatives are also available. Notable recommendations include "Convex Analysis and Nonlinear Optimization" by Borwein and Lewis, "Convex Analysis and Optimization" by Bertsimas, and "Convex Analysis in General Vector Spaces" by Zalinescu. These texts offer contemporary insights and applications in convex analysis and optimization, catering to readers looking for a deeper understanding beyond classical treatments.

I'm looking for 1-2 rigorous books on convex analysis for someone who already has some exposure to convexity, linear and nonlinear programming in an applied course.

It seems that Rockafellar (Convex Analysis) and Fenchel (Convex Cones, Sets and Functions) is the classic treatment. Is there a more modern exposition? I see a few from a quick Amazon search, but I'm not in a good position to judge:

- Borwein and Lewis, Convex Analysis and Nonlinear Optimization
- Bertsimas, Convex Analysis and Optimization
- Zalinescu, Convex Analysis in General Vector Spaces

Thanks!

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress.
