Talk Title: Theory and Algorithms for Non(-Clarke)-Regular Optimization Problems Abstract: Despite the growing interest in nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems among the continuous optimization community, much of the current research focuses on Clarke-regular objectives and constraints. This regularity leads to favorable computational properties, but limits the practical applicability of the algorithms developed. In this talk,…

Talk Title: Generalized Submodular Optimization—Theory, Algorithms, and Applications Abstract: Submodularity is an important concept in integer and combinatorial optimization. Submodular set functions capture diminishing returns, and for this desirable property, they are found in numerous real-world applications. A submodular set function models the effect of selecting items from a single ground set, and whether an…
