SSD: MAT/08 (Numerical Analysis) and MAT/09 (Operational research)
ERC fields:
PE - Physical Sciences and Engineering
LS - Life Sciences
ERC subfield:
PE1_21 Application of mathematics in sciences
The research activity is devoted to the design and analysis of numerical methods, algorithms and software for Scientific Computing.
The applications of interest include problems in image processing, finance, agrifood and machine learning.
The research is carried out using the computing environment at DMF which includes:
the high performance Computing System Magic Box
and the Scientific Computing Laboratory
Research topics
- Preconditioning of large and sparse saddle-point linear systems arising in nonlinear optimization and PDEs;
- First-order and second-order methods in nonlinear optimization (gradient, proximal gradient, split-Bregman, quasi-Newton, interior point);
- Inverse problems: iterative regularization methods, numerical methods for problems arising in image processing and finance;
- Multivariate approximation: numerical methods and applications;
- Numerical methods for differential problems and application to the analysis of the evolution of descriptors involved in pattern formation,biological and environmental problems.
