N.N.
Aims and scope of the conference
This conference is the eighth of a series dedicated to research on
Approximation and Optimization. The first two meetings were held in
Havana (Cuba) in 1987
and 1993. Since then, these meetings have been organized in the
following countries of the
Caribbean area: Puebla (Mexico) 1995, Caracas (Venezuela) 1997,
Pointe-á-Pitre
(Guadeloupe) 1999, Guatemala City (Guatemala) 2001, Leon
(Nicaragua) 2004.
The goal of these conferences is to support the development of high
level research and education in the Caribbean. Included are: invited
lectures, tutorials,
mini-symposia, and contributed talks on the following topics:
Main Topics:
Approximation: Wavelets, polynomial and rational
approximation, splines, orthogonal polynomials, interpolation,
asymptotic analysis, radial basis
functions.
Optimization: Continuous and discrete optimization, parametric,
stochastic and global optimization, nonlinear equations and
inequalities, nonsmooth analysis,
critical point theory, control theory.
Mathematical Economics: Fixed point theory, equilibria of
competitive economies, portofolio problems, cooperative and
non-cooperative games.
Applications: Engineering and energy models, robotics, pattern
recognition, image restoration, applications in biology, economy and
sciences.
