Workshop on Convexity, Monotonicity and Differentiability
March 5 - 7, 1993
PROGRAM
A previous workshop on this topic, held at the Centre de Recherches
Mathematiques in Montreal in 1986, was extremely successful at drawing
together researchers from a variety of areas in functional analysis,
optimization and variational analysis. The focus was on first order
theory, and significant outcomes include seminal results on differenetiability
of Lipschitz, convex and lower semicontinuous functions, and smooth
variational principles.
The aim of the present workshop is to capitalize on substantial subsequent
work in this area, especially variational applications, second order
thoery and renorming results. Selected topics include: set convergences
and generalized derivatives, topological methods (CUSCOS), differentiation
of multifunctions, socond-order differentiability, viscosity solutions,
applications to optimization, control and nonlinear equations. Some
funding for postdoctoral students will be available.
