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.

Inivited 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.
