Stability in linear optimization and related topics. A personal tour

This paper is a kind of biased survey of the most representative and recent results on stability for the linear optimization problem. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are considered in this survey, and some infinite-dimensional extensions of the main results to more general problems are also included. In particular the paper deals with the lower/upper semicontinuity of the feasible/optimal set mappings, different types of ill-posedness, distance to ill-posedness, Lipschitz properties of these mappings under different types of perturbations, and estimates of the associated Lipschitz bounds.
