More information:
We will give wit this lecture an introduction to basics of optimization theory in infinite dimensional spaces and numerical solution techniques for solving contained/unconstrained minimization problems. Basis knowledge about functional analytic tools and techniques from optimization are required.
Comments/contents:
The lecture considers theory and numerical methods for non-smooth, convex optimization problems. Topics of the lecture include:
subdifferential of convex functions, subgradient method, cutting plane method, epsilon-subdifferential, bundle methods, Nonsmooth equations: generalized Newton methods, generalized differentials, semismoothness, semismooth Newton methods.
