Workshop
NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION: A BRIDGE FROM THEORY TO APPLICATIONS
Erice, Italy
June 10-17, 2013

This is the 59th Workshop of the International School of
Mathematics "G. Stampacchia" at the Ettore Majorana Centre
and Fondation for Scientific Culture (EMCFSC). It is the
seventh Workshop on Nonlinear Optimization and related topics.
The preceding ones have been held every three years starting
from 1995.

LOCATION
The Workshop will be held in Erice, Sicily, Italy, at the EMCFSC.

PURPOSE
The Workshop aims to review and discuss recent advances and
promising research trends in Nonlinear Optimization and to
provide a forum for fruitful interactions in strictly related
fields of research, with a particular focus on applications.

TOPICS
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
- optimization and machine learning
- applications of nonlinear optimization

PARTICIPATION
The Workshop will include invited lectures (1 hour) and
contributed lectures (30 minutes). Members of the international
scientific community are invited to contribute a lecture
describing their current research and applications.
