Optimization problems with partial differential equations as constraints arise widely in many areas of science and engineering, in particular in problems of the design. The solution of such class of ...

When solving the general smooth nonlinear and possibly nonconvex optimization problem involving equality and/or inequality constraints, an approximate first-order critical point of accuracy ϵ can be ...

A thorough understanding of Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus, and strong familiarity with the Python programming language (e.g., basic data manipulation libraries, how to construct functions and ...

where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...
