<br />
<br />
The Special Interest Group in Optimization (SIGOPT) was created in 1993 with the purpose of encouraging cooperation and communication between its members to enrich the scientific network of mathematical optimization. In this regard, a series of conferences has been established in order to conglomerate all the different aspects of mathematical optimization within one event of familiar atmosphere, and it is our pleasure to announce the 5th SIGOPT conference to be held during<br />
<br />
<span style="white-space:pre"> March 14 - 16, 2023, in Cottbus, Germany.</span><br />
<br />
The conference is scheduled to take place at the Zentralcampus of the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU). Further up-to-date information can be found at the conference website <a href="http://www.sigopt2023.b-tu.de" target="_blank">www.sigopt2023.b-tu.de</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Aims and Scopes<br />
<br />
The SIGOPT conference covers theory and practice in all branches of mathematical optimization, e.g., Linear Optimization, Discrete and Combinatorial Optimization, Mixed-Integer Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization, Nonsmooth Optimization and Variational Analysis, Multiobjective and Set-Valued Optimization, Optimal Control and Infinite-Dimensional Optimization, Machine Learning, or Application of Optimization in Real-World Problems. The SIGOPT promotes the collaboration of all the different branches of mathematical optimization, so talks combining theory or methods from different topics are especially welcome. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to submit abstract proposals.<br />
