Recession Methods in Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization
(Part I of II)
This minisymposium is aimed at bringing together experts working in different areas of
nonlinear analysis and optimization who use the recession method to solve problems. In the
recession method, one attempts to get some information on the solution of the problem by
imposing conditions at infinity. As the speakers of this minisymposium will demonstrate,
such methods have been particularly useful in the existence, error bound, and convergence
analysis of solutions of optimization problems, variational inequalities, piecewise affine
equations, and convex inequality systems.
