In particular, she is active in robust optimization and puts emphasis on the development of algorithmically tractable robust counterparts for problems under uncertainty. The main points that will be addressed are the existence and uniqueness of solutions, their regularity in the presence of boundary conditions, and their asymptotic behaviour as time goes to infinity.Radu I. Bot is member of the Editorial Board of the journals Minimax Theory and its Applications, Optimization Methods and Software, OptimizationLetters, Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, and SIAM Journalon Optimization.She received her doctorate degree in 2004 and the Habilitation degree from the University of Cologne in 2010. Bauschke has authored more than 100 refereed publications.According to Mathematical Reviews, his book 'Convex Analysis and Monotone Operator Theoryin Hilbert Spaces', co-authored with Dr. Patrick Combettes,is - in terms of citations - in the top 20 out ofmore than 18,000 books published in the past decade.Dr. She is currently an elected member of the SIAM Board of Trustees and a member of the Board on Mathematical Sciences and Analytics for the United States National Academies. We also discuss other new advances for extending quasi-Newton ideas for stochastic and nonconvex, nonsmooth optimization.After a busy day with plenty of talks, the participants enjoyed the conference dinner on a boat, cruising through the historic center of Berlin.Dentcheva is the recipient of the Davis Memorial Research Award and Research Recognition Award of the Board of Trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology.Stevens Institute of Technology, USA Bauschke has also collaborated with engineers from industry,published in IEEE journals, and received two patents.Darinka Dentcheva is a professor and chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Stevens Institute of Technology.
The venue of the conference is located in the City West, one of the main commercial areas inGermany's capital.Since June 2018, Cannarsa is the President of the Italian Mathematical Union.Previously, for eight years since June 1999, he was the Vice-President of the IstitutoNazionale di Alta Matematica, a national institution for promotion of mathematicaleducation and research.The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a popularmethod for finding minimizers of sumsof nonsmooth convex functions; or, more generally,zeros of sums of maximally monotone operators.Congratulations to Xudong Li for winning the Best Paper Prize for Young Researchers in Continuous Optimization with his contribution "Exploiting second order sparsity in big data optimization". He currently serves as an Associate Editor for Mathematical Programming, SIAM Journal on Optimization, Mathematics of Operations Research, and Mathematical Programming Computation. It will include a Summer School (August 3-4) and a Conference (August5-8) with a series of plenary and semi-plenary talks, organized andcontributed sessions, and poster sessions.All this shows that PDE-constrained optimization with nonsmoothstructures is a broad and highly relevant field. The questions of whether this resurgence of optimization in this sector of the economy is sustainable or is a part of the cyclic technology interest remains to be seen.The main focus of Frauke Liers' research is on the development, the analysis and the implementation of global solution approaches in mixed-integer nonlinear optimization. If you're visiting in August, be sure to make a stop at the International Berliner Bierfestival.
His work is often related to applications,e.g., in the context of shape optimization and control of fluid flows,parameter identification, or the analysis of human motion.Michael Ulbrich is a PI and a member of the Steering Committee of theDFG Priority Program SPP 1962 ``Non-smooth and Complementarity-basedDistributed Parameter Systems: Simulation and Hierarchical Optimization''and a PI of the DFG/FWF International Research Training Group IGDK 1754Munich-Graz ``Optimization and Numerical Analysis for Partial DifferentialEquations with Nonsmooth Structures''.The scientific program of ICCOPT 2019 consists ofCannarsa is the Editor-in-Chief of the Bollettino dell’Unione Matematica Italiana(Springer) and an editor of several international journals including Evolution Equationsand Control Theory (AIMS), Mathematical Control and Related Fields (AIMS), MinimaxTheory and its Applications (Heldermann), Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications(Elsevier), and Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications (Birkhäuser).Sandia National Laboratories, USAThis talk will provide an overview of some classical optimization models and other newer ones.
The minimum number of talks in a session is thus 3. We give examples of the intriguing successes as well as notable limitations of these methods.
Wewill also emphasize the role played by the Kurdyka- Lojasiewicz property whenproving global convergence, and when deriving convergence rates in terms ofthe Lojasiewicz exponent.Amr El-Bakry is a Data Analytics and Optimization advisor at ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co. where he also serves as a Surveillance and Optimization advisor.
