This book presents a largely self-contained account of the main results of convex analysis, monotone operator theory, and the theory of nonexpansive operators in the context of Hilbert spaces. Unlike existing literature, the novelty of this book, and indeed its central theme, is the tight interplay among the key notions of convexity, monotonicity, and nonexpansiveness. The presentation is accessible to a broad audience and attempts to reach out in particular to the applied sciences and engineering communities, where these tools have become indispensable.

…(1982), but provides a solid foundation - "Convex Optimization" by S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe: the standard for learning convex optimization (also available as a free PDF from the author's website) - "Convex Analysis and Monotone Operator Theory in Hilbert Spaces" by H. H. Bauschke and P. L. Combettes: covers a more specialized area of numerical optimization, but the notation is beautiful (IMO) and it acts as a useful reference for recent research on, e.g., operator…
