Optimization of Infinite Dimensional Non-Smooth Distributed Parameter Systems

Date & Place:

October 4-6 2017 in Darmstadt Germany

Aims:

This workshop brings together experts and junior scientists working in optimization of infinite dimensional distributed parameter systems. Special emphasis will be given to problems involving partial differential operators with non-smoothness occurring either due to non-smooth constitutive model or by controlling constrained optimization problems governed by partial differential equations or variational inequalities. The workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss aspects of modeling and problem analysis as well as the design and analysis of efficient algorithms for the solution of such problems.

Invited Speakers:

• Luise Blank (Universität Regensburg)
• Kazufumi Ito (North Carolina State University)
• Juan Carlos de los Reyes (Escuela Politécnica Nacional)
