numerical methods energy minimization Applied Machine Learning

In this talk, we discuss problems and numerical methods arising in the calculus of variations and energy minimization. Among numerous applications, energy minimization is a core element of Machine Learning algorithms. Within the field of nonlinear PDEs, the calculus of variations has received a lot of attention from the analysis point of view. Although quite interesting and challenging, the numerical analysis of these problems is much less developed.
