Welcome to the Center for Applied
Optimization home page.
C.A.O. at the University of Florida is an interdisciplinary center which encourages joint
research and applied projects among faculty from engineering, mathematics and business. It also encourages
increased awareness of the rapidly growing field of optimization through publications, conferences, joint
research and student exchange. It was founded in September 1992.
The co-directors are Dr. Donald
Hearn and Dr. Panos Pardalos
of Industrial and Systems Engineering and
Dr. William Hager,
from the Mathematics Department.
Center affiliates include faculty from Mathematics,
ISE, Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering,
Computer and Information Science, Mechanics &
Engineering Science, Electrical Engineering, and Decision
and Information Sciences.
In the Mathematics Department, areas of individual and joint
research include numerical analysis, optimal control, optimization
(continuous, global and discrete), inverse problems, imaging, communication,
and medical applications.
Sponsors include the National Science Foundation, AirForce, and
the National Institutes of Health.
The Center is interested in promoting collaboration with researchers
at other universities through visitors and student exchange. It administers
a program for visiting students from the Royal Institute of Technology
(KTH), Stockholm.
