Workshop 3

Optimization and Inversion under Uncertainty

November 11-15, 2019
Organizers: Matthias Heinkenschloss (Rice University), Georg Stadler (Courant Institute, NYU)

Optimization under uncertainty and Bayesian inversion, both in the context of complex physical systems, arise in many science and engineering applications where one needs to make decisions, compute designs, or specify controls under uncertainty, or where one needs to infer parameters such as spatially distributed conductivities or permeabilities from measurements. The solution of these problems is mathematically and computationally challenging and requires the development and integration of tools from uncertainty quantification, optimization, control, and PDEs. This workshop brings together experts on different aspects of optimization and inversion under uncertainty with emphasis on problems governed by partial differential equations to present latest developments in this area.
