Optimization of Dynamical Systems

Welcome!

We are delighted to host a summer school on the topics optimization and dynamical systems. It is organized by the Research Training Group 2224 on Parameter Identification and takes place at the University of Bremen, September 03 - 07, 2018. It aims at giving a broad overview on the rich fields of optimization, dynamical systems, their intersections (as optimal control), and corresponding real-world applications. We are therefore glad to announce Matthias Gerdts, Roland Herzog, and Sven Leyffer as main lecturers, who will not only introduce these topics, but give an insight into current research areas. Further speakers will give different perspectives and a deeper insight to more specialized topics. The program is completed by a poster session and extracurricular activities (like a mathematical city tour through Bremen).
