Fast Solution of Discretized Optimization Problems

More about the book

Differential equations, both partial and ordinary, are essential for modeling real-world application problems. To influence these systems effectively, optimizing discretized models is crucial. This volume features selected papers from the International Workshop on "Fast Solution of Discretized Optimization Problems," held at the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics in Berlin from May 8 to May 12, 2000. The event brought together 59 scientists from 10 countries and included 8 invited lectures from experts such as H. G. Bock, M. Heinkenschloss, K. Kunisch, U. Langer, B. Mohammadi, J. Petersson, E. Sachs, and F. Troltzsch, along with 28 contributed talks. The workshop aimed to promote the exchange of ideas between the disciplines of nonlinear optimization and numerical methods for differential equations, which is vital for addressing various current optimization challenges in practical applications, including shape optimization, topology optimization, and process optimization. The organizing committee and speakers represented both communities, reflecting the workshop's goal of fostering collaboration and innovation in these interconnected fields.
