Topic: VARIATIONAL ANALYSIS IN OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL

This course consists of five lectures devoted to advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation with their applications to qualitative and algorithmic aspects of optimization theory and optimal control.

 

Variational Analysis: An Overview

2021年73882必赢网页版11162130--2300

This lecture contains a brief overview of basic principles and constructions of variational analysis and generalized differentiation with reviewing some underlying results and areas of applications. In particular, we axiomatically define subdifferentials of nonsmooth functions and normal to closed sets with their major realizations, present the extremal principle and its applications to generalized Lagrange multiplier rules, and formulate necessary optimality conditions for general problems of optimal control.

 

Criticality of Lagrange Multipliers in Constrained Optimization with Applications to SQP

2021年73882必赢网页版11172130--2300

This lecture is devoted to a new theory of critical and noncritical Lagrange multipliers for general problems of constrained optimization, including conic programming. Using advanced machinery of variational analysis, a generalized differentiation, we present second-order characterizations of critical and noncritical multiplies with their applications to the sequential quadratic programming method (SQP) in problems of constrained optimization.


Parabolic Regularity in Variational Analysis and Optimization

2021年73882必赢网页版11182130--2300

In this lecture we discuss some basic notions of second-order variational analysis that are revolved around the concept of parabolic regularity for functions and sets. This general second-order regularity concept plays a fundamental role in deriving a variety of second-order calculus rules for primal and dual constructions of generalized differentiation and their applications including necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for various problems of constrained optimization, uniform growth conditions for augmented Lagrangians in conic programming, etc.


Globally Convergent Coderivative-based Newtonian Algorithms in Nonsmooth Optimization

2021年73882必赢网页版11192130--2300

This lecture is devoted to applications of second-order variational analysis and generalized differentiation to the design and justification of novel generalized Newtonian algorithms. We present coderivative-based versions of the damped Newton method and of the Levenberg-Marquardt method designed via the generalized Hessian. Efficient conditions for the global convergence of these algorithms are obtained for problems of convex composite optimization with establishing their superlinear convergence rates and applications to Lasso problems.

 

Optimal Control of Sweeping Process with Applications to Robotics and Traffic Equilibria

2021年73882必赢网页版11202130--2300

The final lecture of this course is devoted to applications of variational analysis to a new and challenging class of optimal control problems for the so-called sweeping processes, which are governed by discontinuous differential inclusions, dynamic variational inequalities. We develop the method of finite-difference/discrete approximations to the study of such problems and then derive in this way necessary optimality conditions for discrete-time and continuous-time systems with applications to some models of robotics and traffic equilibria.
