INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS «GUIDO STAMPACCHIA»
66th International Workshop: ADVANCES IN CONVEX ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION
ERICE – SICILY: 5 – 12 JULY 2016

The 66th International Workshop: ADVANCES IN CONVEX ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION
will take place in July 5 – 12, 2016 at “Ettore Majorana” Foundation
and Center for Scientific Culture located in Erice, Sicily, Italy.
The aim of the Workshop is to review and discuss recent developments
of the theory of Convex Analysis and Optimization and to provide a
forum for fruitful interactions in closely related fields of research
and their applications.
  Optimization is a rich and thriving mathematical discipline.
Properties of minimizers and maximizers of functions rely in an
essential way on richness of techniques from mathematical analysis,
including tools from calculus and its generalizations, topology, and
geometry. The theory underlying current computational optimization
techniques grows evermore: sophisticated duality-based algorithms,
interior point methods, and control-theoretic applications are typical
examples. The powerful and elegant language of convex analysis unifies
much of this theory.
Many important analytic problems have illuminating optimization
formulations and hence can be approached through main variational
tools: subgradients and optimality conditions, the many forms of
duality, metric regularity and so forth. More generally, the idea of
convexity is central to the transition from classical analysis to
various branches of modern analysis: from linear to nonlinear
analysis, from smooth to nonsmooth, from the study of functions to
multifunctions and has important applications in optimal control,
mathematical economics, and other areas of infinite-dimensional
optimization.
Particular emphasis will be placed on novel ideas and promising
research developments.

Specific topics of interest are (but not limited to):
- Nonlinear Optimization
- Stochastic Optimization
- Variational Inequalities
- Differential Inclusions
- Differential Variational Inequalities
- Optimization for Imaging
- Optimization for Finance
- Optimal Transportation Theory
- Optimization for Machine Learning
- Convex, Nonsmooth and Energy Optimization
- Optimization and Dynamical Systems
- Equilibrium Problems
