Set Oriented Numerics

Set oriented methods have proven to be very efficient in the numerical treatment of various classes of global optimization problems in academy and industry and are widely used in many fields, such as Engineering and Finance. This special session serves as a platform for researchers from all over the world to present and discuss recent advances in set oriented numerical methods in particular in the context of optimization. Methods of this kind iterate (or evolve) entire sets instead of considering point-wise iterative methods and are thus in particular advantageous if a thorough investigation of the entire domain is required and/or the solution set is not given by a singleton.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • cell mapping techniques
  • subdivision techniques
  • continuation methods
  • swarm-like strategies
  • methods for all kinds of optimization problems, including scalar, multi-objective, bi-level, and dynamic optimization problems
  • applications to real-world problems

All submission will be peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts.
