Workshop on Optimization with PDE constraints

 Venue : TIFR CAM, Bangalore
 Date  : 25 November - 6 December, 2013

This workshop will provide an introduction to topics in optimization of problems governed by partial differential equations including those involving shape optimization problems. Theoretical and numerical aspects of formulating and solving such problems will be taught.
