At the end of each seminar, the program provides time for free discussion about possible exchanges of information and ideas on topics that include theoretical and applied aspects of optimization techniques, with particular attention to related developments in specific inverse problems as image restoration, compressive sensing, and machine learning.

Following a long tradition of this conference series, the conference is devoted to theory and applications of all fields of nonlinear optimization and optimal control and to related problems of modelling. For more information, please visit the conference website http://ifip2013.uni-klu.ac.at We kindly invite you to participate in the conference by submitting a contributed talk or a minisymposium proposal. Submission of abstracts for contributed talks will be possible via our web page in fall of this year. Submission of minisymposia proposals is solicitated from now on as a reply to this email, including title, short (at most one page) summary and tentative list of speakers. The format of a minisymposium should be one or two blocks of two hours with either one keynote speaker (50+10min) and 2 regular speakers (25+5min) or 4 regular speakers (25+5min) per block We would be very happy to welcome you at our conference in Klagenfurt!

[From the website:] Aims and Scope Regularization methods aimed at finding stable approximate solutions are a necessary tool to tackle inverse and ill-posed problems. Inverse problems arise in a large variety of applications ranging from medical imaging and non-destructive testing via finance to systems biology. Many of these problems belong to the class of parameter identification problems in partial differential equations (PDEs) and thus are computationally demanding and mathematically challenging. Hence there is a substantial need for stable and efficient solvers for this kind of problems as well as for a rigorous convergence analysis of these methods. This monograph consists of five parts. Part I motivates the importance of developing and analyzing regularization methods in Banach spaces by presenting four applications which intrinsically demand for a Banach space setting and giving a brief glimpse of sparsity constraints. Part II summarizes all mathematical tools that are necessary to carry out an analysis in Banach spaces. Part III represents the current state-of-the-art concerning Tikhonov regularization in Banach spaces. Part IV about iterative regularization methods is concerned with linear operator equations and the iterative solution of nonlinear operator equations by gradient type methods and the iteratively regularized Gauss-Newton method. Part V finally outlines the method of approximate inverse which is based on the efficient evaluation of the measured data with reconstruction kernels.
