Special Issue on
Nonsmooth Optimization and Applications
MPB Style Files: zip file, tar.gz file.
We invite research articles for a forthcoming special issue of Mathematical Programming, Series B on Nonsmooth Optimization and Applications. Specific areas of interest for this issue include the following.
A. Theory and numerical methods for nonsmooth optimization and nonlinearly constrained optimization.
B. Complexity analysis of nonsmooth convex minimization.
C. Applications of nonsmooth optimization in control theory, stochastic approximation, and other areas.
The scope of the issue encompasses some of the areas of mathematical programming to which Professor Boris Polyak has contributed in prodigious and fundamental ways during his distinguished career. Our intention is to honor Professor Polyak and his achievements on the occasion of his 70th birthday, which takes place in May 2005.
Deadline for submission of full papers: September 30, 2005. We aim at completing a first review of all papers by January 31, 2006.
Electronic submissions to the guest editors in the form of pdf files are encouraged. All submissions will be refereed according to the usual standards of Mathematical Programming. Additional information about the special issue can be obtained from the guest editors.
Final submissions should be in latex, using the style files for Mathematical Programming. These files can be obtained through the Mathematical Programming B home page.
