  • Special Issue: Optimization: Theory, Algorithms and Applications in Energy

    This special Issue is in honour of the 10th year anniversary of the Gaspard Monge Program in Optimization (PGMO) an industrially sponsored research program covering many different aspects of optimization theory. From an applicative viewpoint the program has, in particular, an interest in “energy related” problems. The latter, understood in a large sense, can be characterized by the presence of uncertainty, large scale, combinatorial aspects, nonsmoothness and non-convexity. The just mentioned features depending on the nature of the investigated models. Energy problems are of societal importance. As a result, the research in optimization carried out through PGMO can be understood to have real-life impact. In terms of mathematical optimization disciplines the scope of this SI is large as indeed a great many features can be found in problems from practice. We can thus cover:

    • Stochastic programming
    • Combinatorial optimization
    • Nonsmooth and variational analysis
    • Algorithmic developments
    • Decomposition approaches

  • Special Issue: Optimization, Control and Their Applications

    Professor Boris Teodorovich Polyak was born on May 4, 1935 and passed away on February 3, 2023. This SI is dedicated to his memory and celebrates his fundamental achievements in Optimization, Control, and Their Applications. Professor Polyak was a world leader in these domains being a founder of several scientific schools. In particular, he was the first who thought on acceleration of the Gradient Method by suggesting a momentum idea (Heavy Ball Method).  He proposed several variants of the subgradient method, which form the basis of the modern theory of Nonsmooth Optimization.  His interpretation of Modified Lagrangians paved a way for proper understanding of this technique. Several, by now classical, notions of modern Optimization, such as, uniformly convex functions, gradient-dominated functions, sharp minimum, and many more, were proposed in his papers.  Finally, his famous book “Introduction to Optimization” (1983) fixed the state of art for the first period in the development of Optimization Theory and highlighted the most interesting directions for further research.
