ACM721 Nonsmooth Analysis and Applications

[3–0, 3 cr.]

Topics covered are: Proximal analysis in Hilbert space (Proximal normals, subgradients, distance functions, etc.), generalized gradients in Banach space (basic calculus rules, relationship to Proximal analysis, Bouligand tangent cone, etc.), constrained optimization and value functions, application in control theory (nonsmooth feedback theory). Prerequisites: ACM701 and ACM720.

Note: This course has not been taught since Fall 2021 and will not be taught during the academic year 2023-2024.
