Workshop on Nonsmooth Optimization and Applications

(NOPTA 2024)

in Honor of the 75th Birthday of Boris Mordukhovich

April 8-12, 2024- University of Antwerp, Belgium

VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS IN OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL

This course consists of five lectures devoted to advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation with their applications to qualitative and algorithmic aspects of optimization theory and optimal control. The title of the lectures are as follows:

VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS: AN OVERVIEW
CRITICALITY OF LAGRANGE MULTIPLIERS IN CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION WITH APPLICATIONS TO SQP
INEXACT REDUCED GRADIENT AND PROXIMAL METHODS IN NONCONVEX OPTIMIZATION
GENERALIZED NEWTONIAN ALGORITHMS IN NONSMOOTH OPTIMIZATION
OPTIMAL CONTROL OF SWEEPING PROCESSES WITH APPLICATIONS TO ROBOTICS AND TRAFFIC EQUILIBRIA

Workshop participants are exempt from the SOCN registration. However, for non-participants of NOPTA 2024, you need to Register in the SOCN webpage via this link.
