Computational Techniques and Applications Conference: Early bird registration closes on 1 June and abstract submission closes on 1 October.

The 2024 iteration of the biennial Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC) will be held at Monash University from 19 to 22 November 2024. The CTAC meetings are the main event in numerical mathematics and scientific computing in Australia, and have been taking place biennially since 1981, the most recent being held in 2022 at QUT. 

As organisers of the numerical optimisation stream, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a contributed talk in this stream. We are interested in talks related to continuous optimisation, including topics with potential links to other CTAC streams (e.g. machine learning, inverse problems, uncertainty quantification, numerical PDEs). Please feel free to extend this invitation to others who may be interested in participating, including students/postdocs and visitors. There is a prize for best student talk.

Early bird registration closes on 1 June and abstract submission closes on 1 October.

Abstract

In this talk, first I will talk about my collaboration with Professor Alexander Rubinov on many topics of nonlinear analysis and generalized convexity. Then I will discuss Voronoi diagrams and cells. Finally, I will present some interesting applications of Voronoi diagrams.

Dr Juan Enrique Martinez-Legaz is an Emeritus Professor at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain. He received his PhD degree in Mathematics on 1981 from the University of Barcelona, Spain. He was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa, Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (Lima, Peru, 2011) and EUROPT Fellow 2011. Professor Martinez-Legaz is serving on the editorial board of many international journals in optimization and operations research, including Journal of Global Optimization, Optimization, Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications. Since 1981 he delivered more than 100 keynote and invited talks in different international conferences. His research areas include continuous optimization, operator theory, convex and discrete geometry and economics.
