KanzowUniversita¨t Wu¨rzburgInstitut fu¨r MathematikLehrstuhl fu¨r Angewandte Mathematik II2. Gutachter:Prof. M. FukushimaKyoto UniversityGraduate School of InformaticsDepartment of Applied Mathematics and PhysicsAcknowledgementsFirst of all I thank my PhD advisor Christian Kanzow for constant supportthroughout the past four years. His ideas, guidance, corrections and additions havecontributed essentially. Further, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to studythree months at the System Optimization Laboratory of Kyoto University, and Ithank Masao Fukushima and the members of the Laboratory for the hospitalityand scientific advice.This work was supported in part by a grant from the International DoctorateProgram ’Identification, Optimization and Control with Applications in ModernTechnologies’ within the Elite Network of Bavaria. The doctorate program alsofinanced the three month stay at the university of Kyoto and the participation atnational and international conferences, which, together with the regular seminarsand summer schools with the members of the doctorate program, were of greatbenefit to me.Also I would like to thank my former teachers Dr. Schreiber, Mack, Angelkort,Dr.
