Third International Conference on Generalized Convexity International Workshop on Generalized Concavity, Fractional Programming and Economic Applications Pisa (Italy), May 30 - June 1, 1988

About 70 participants from 11 different countries attended the third international conference on Generalized Convexity held at the University of Pisa, Italy. A strong emphasis was given to applications of Generalized Convexity in Management Science and Economics, to Fractional Programming and to Duality. The proceedings of the conference have been published in a 360 page volume by Springer-Verlag.
