52th WORKSHOP

NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION, VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES AND EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS

July 2 - 10, 2010

The Workshop aims to review and discuss recent advances in the development
of analytical and computational tools for Nonlinear Optimization, 
Variational
Inequalities and Equilibrium Problems, and to provide a forum for fruitful
interactions in strictly related fields of research.

Topics include constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization, global
optimization, derivative-free methods, nonsmooth optimization, nonlinear
complementarity problems, variational inequalities, equilibrium problems,
game theory, bilevel optimization, neural networks and support vector 
machines
training, applications in engineering, economics, biology and other 
sciences.

The Workshop will include keynote lectures (1 hour) and contributed 
lectures
(30 min.). Members of the international scientific community are invited to
contribute a lecture describing their current research and applications.
Acceptance will be decided by the Advisory Committee of the School.

Invited lecturers who have confirmed the participation are:
Ernesto G. Birgin, Francisco Facchinei, Christodoulos A. Floudas, David 
Gao,
Diethard Klatte, Eva K. Lee, Marco Locatelli, Jacqueline Morgan, Evgeni A.
Nurminski, Jong-Shi Pang, Mike J. D. Powell, Franz Rendl, Nikolaos V. 
Sahinidis,
Katya Scheinberg, Marco Sciandrone, Valeria Simoncini, Henry Wolkowicz,
Ya-xiang Yuan.

A special issue of Computational Optimization and Applications will be 
dedicated
to the Workshop, including a selection of invited and contributed lectures.
