Exploring and exploiting structures in nonsmooth and global optimization problems

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Global and non-smooth optimisation problems are among the most challenging in optimisation. Such problems arise in optimisation of many systems including financial, business and engineering systems. Achieving optimal performance of these systems will provide considerable commercial and environmental benefits. This project aims to develop new approaches to global and non-smooth optimisation using their special structures. The outcomes of this project will be new approaches to practical problems and ready-to-implement algorithms. It will major benefit to Australian society whilst also facilitating excellent international collaboration.
