This project deals with theoretical, computational and application aspects of Optimization. The project aims at the development, theoretical analysis, implementation and application of algorithms for different aspects of Optimization, with emphasis on Continuous Optimization. The project relies on applications with which the team is familiar. Emphasis is placed on algorithms with a solid …
Since its creation in 2013, the Centro de Ciências Matemáticas Aplicadas à Indústria (CEPID/CeMEAI) has promoted the approximation of the academic sector to industry. Innovative activities led by the center, such as the "Workshop de Soluções Matemáticas para Problemas Industriais", successfully foster interdisciplinary collaboration in strategic areas for the country's technological devel…
Our group has been active in the Brazilian scientific environment for 40 years, being is sensitive to new trends and modern applications of Optimization. Over the years, this group, funded by successive FAPESP thematic projects, has made significant contributions in areas involving decomposition methods, quasi-Newton methods, sequential quadratic programming, augmented Lagrangian methods,…
At every human activity decisions are taken according to models that try to foresee the future. The accuracy of different models is subject to very problem-dependent levels of uncertainty. After the actual ocurrence of some event, the models should be updated. This project deals with criteria and techniques for updating models and their practical consequences. (AU)

It is well-known that some optimization algorithms may not generate AKKT sequences, as shown for the Newton method in [Math. Program. 160:547-555, 2016]. In some cases, instead of applying the pure Newton method, using the scaled method can solve this problem. In this project, we will investigate other optimization methods that enjoy the property of converging to feasible points that also…
The adjustment of the aviary simulation model provides the theme for a long-range postdoctoral project. The aviary simulation model was developed in a doctoral thesis in our research group and published in specialized journals. Depending on a set of approximately 10 parameters, the model simulates the life of (approximately 40 thousand) broilers in a typical aviary such as those existing …
Nonsmooth optimization arises naturally when modelling real-life problems in energy, finance, signal processing, geometric mechanics. Moreover, smooth problems sometimes lead to the use of nonsmooth optimization methods, to make the solution process manageable in terms of size or structure (for instance by means of Lagrangean or Benders decomposition). It also may happen that a problem is…
When exposed to powerful magnetic fields and radioactive high-frequency waves, the magnetic field of the hydrogen nuclei reacts with a specific signature which varies with the spatial arrangement of the molecules. Based on this particular signature, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) allows to infer the molecular structural conformation. This project is aimed at developing mass…

Many energy optimization problems, such as the Unit Commitment (UC) one, possess several forms of spatial, temporal and logical structure that partition the decisions (variables) into distinct blocks. Hence they would decompose along these lines, were it not for some operational or logical conditions (linking constraints or variables) that relate decisions from different blocks. These pro…
