Seminar Title: Large-Scale Nonlinear Optimization with Inexact Step Computations
Speaker: Andreas Waechter, Northwestern University

Date/Time: 2011-12-07 15:00
Location: Building 240, 1404-1405

Description:
An algorithm for large-scale nonlinear nonconvex optimization is presented. Search directions are computed by an iterative linear solver, with termination criteria for the inexact solution ensuring global convergence under mild assumptions. The practical performance of the method is demonstrated on 3D PDE-constrained optimization examples.
