Geometry, Optimization and Convex Analysis

It is a great honor and pleasure to dedicate this special issue to our friend Miguel Angel Goberna Torrent at the occasion of his 70th birthday. The volume presents a collection of works representing recent developments in Miguel Goberna’s manifold research fields, such as geometrical aspects of convex analysis and optimization, stability, semi-infinite optimization, hierarchical and parametric optimization, duality, and proximal analysis, seen from a set-valued and variational analysis perspective.

  • Regina Burachik

    Regina Burachik https://people.unisa.edu.au/regina.burachik is a Professor of Mathematics at University of South Australia. She earned a PhD from IMPA (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Rio de Janeiro), on extensions of the proximal point method for variational inequalities. Her research interests include several areas of (smooth and non-smooth) optimization, ranging from functional analysis to convex analysis and variational inequalities. She publishes both on theoretical as well as practical aspects of optimization. Her theoretical interests include (i) convex analysis, (ii) optimality conditions for (convex and non-convex) optimiz
