Smooth abnormal problems in extremum theory and analysis

A survey is given of results related to the inverse function theorem and to necessary and sufficient first- and second-order conditions for extrema in smooth extremal problems with constraints. The main difference between the results here and the classical ones is that the former are valid and meaningful without a priori normality assumptions. Bibliography: 48 titles.
