Just curious what are the deeper optimization topics you were hoping to see in the monograph?

Not OP, but probably Convex Optimization [1].

Or maybe branch-and-bound? Useful but not that mathematical.

Judging from the TOC, everything in Part I of Boyd and Vandenberghe appears in some form in the monograph, so I don't think that's it.

Shameless plug: I hold a lecture on "Optimization Methods for Machine Learning" that goes deep into convex optimization.
