Special Issue: Hierarchical Optimization

Special Issue

Special issue on "Optimization models in environment and sustainable development"

Today, sustainable management of the environment and its resources is an issue of vital importance in our contemporary societies and especially in developed societies. The scarcity of resources may well account for this fact. The importance of this problem underlies the necessity for adapting measures aiming at its solution. Many research papers and scientific conferences have been devoted to t...

Special Issue on Control and Optimization in Cooperative Networks

This special issue of the SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization is motivated by the emerging disciplines of multi-agent networks, distributed motion coordination, and cooperative control. It is foreseen that, in the near future, large numbers of coordinated devices communicating through ad hoc networks will perform a variety of challenging sensing tasks. The potential advantages of employing...

Special Issue on Neurodynamic Systems for Optimization and Applications.

Recurrent neural networks, as dynamical systems, are usually used as models for solving computationally intensive problems. Because of their inherent nature of parallel and distributed information processing, recurrent neural networks are promising computational models for real-time applications. Constrained optimization problems arise in a wide variety of scientific and engineering application...

Foreword: special issue on nonsmooth optimization and applications

This issue of Mathematical Programming is dedicated to the life and achievements of B.T. Polyak on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Boris Polyak was born in Moscow (Russia) and received his M.Sc. Degree at the Moscow Institute of Steel in 1958, his Ph.D. degree (Mathematics) in 1963 at Moscow State University, and his Soviet “Doctor of Sciences” degree in Engineering from the Institute of Con...
