The three subjects of this school are strongly interconnected. They will be presented along three viewpoints:
- theoretical aspects, showing the links with certain aspects of functional analysis, the geometry of Banach spaces, nonlinear analysis, and maximal monotone operators;
- motivations and applications, especially for dynamic optimization, the calculus of variations, mathematical programming, networks, large scale systems, decomposition;
- algorithmic and numerical aspects, as nonlinear programming, algorithms for nonsmooth optimization, and numerical optimal control.
