讲座题目：Variational Analysis of Solution Mappings in Multi-objective Optimization

讲座时间：2019年5月31日 15:00-16:00

内容简介：

This presentation will focus on properties of solution sets in multi-objective optimization. Specifically, we will discuss recession properties of efficient and properly efficient solution sets as well as various implications based on these properties. We will also show that, for a large class of multi-objective optimization problems including polynomial optimization problems, any efficient solution possesses certain enhanced regularity property which has not been detected before. If time permits, we will report recent joint work on substantial efficiency and its applications.

讲座题目：Level-set Based Error Bounds： Theory and Applications to Convergence Rate Analysis of Minimization Algorithms

讲座时间：2019年5月31日 16:30-17:30

内容简介：

In this presentation, we will examine a number of level-set based error bounds and their inner-connections as well as their relationships to other types of error bounds. This viewpoint provides a fresh perspective that allows us to explore many known sufficient conditions for linear convergence of minimization algorithms including various first-order methods. Along the way, we are able to derive a number of verifiable conditions for level-set error bounds to hold, and obtain/reproduce linear convergence of many first-order methods. Part of this presentation is based on joint work with Daoli Zhu of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
