The Research Group on Optimization and Variational Analysis aims to develop the theory and applications of nonsmooth and variational analysis, focusing on optimization and real-world applications. Our main fields of interest are:
Differential Inclusions
Nonsmooth Analysis
Stochastic Differential Equations
Convex Analysis
Continuous Optimization
Stochastic Optimization
Bilevel optimization and game theory
