This $250,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research into variational analysis theory, algorithms, and applications at Wayne State University from September 2022 through August 2025. The university will investigate optimization and control models with a focus on engineering design, socioeconomics, robotics, nanotechnology, and behavioral sciences. Specific areas of research include constrained optimization, bilevel programming, variational inequalities, dynamic optimization, and stability analysis of non-smooth systems. The project aims to develop generalized differentiation methods and numerical algorithms to solve optimization, control, and related problems, with implementation in practical modeling. It also provides opportunities for Ph.D. training, including students from underrepresented groups. Outcomes will enhance understanding of challenging classes of problems in areas relevant to national security and defense applications.
