Learning objectives

In this course we will provide an introduction to Convex Analysis in finite and infinite-dimensional spaces. We will show also some applications to problems of nonlinear optimizations and control theory arising from physics and economics. At the end of the course, the student should be able to: - understand the deep link between this and the previous courses (in particular, Functional Analysis); - use the main tools of convex analysis to solve convex optimization problems; - formalize and analyze simple control system coming from physical and economics models, in the framework of optimal control theory; - be autonomous in the use of the textbook suggested for the course.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Functional Analysis

Program

Table of contents
==============
- Review of weak topology on Banach spaces: convex sets, Minkowski functional, linear continuous operators, weak topology, separation of convex sets.
- Convex functions: general properties, lower semicontinuous convex functions, convex conjugate, subdifferential in the sense of Convex Analysis. Introduction to Calculus of Variations.
- Generalizations of convexity: differential calculus in Hilbert and Banach spaces, proximal and limiting subdifferential, the density theorem, sum rule, chain rule, generalized gradient in Banach space.
- Introduction to control theory: multifunctions and trajectories of differential inclusions, viability, equilibria, invariance, stabilization, reachability, Pontryagin Maximum Principle, necessary conditions for optimality.
- Application to optimization problems arising from physical or economic models.
The course amounts to 6 ECTS for a total of 48 hours, which will be held as in-class lectures. Part of the course will consist of exercises.
During the course some cases of study will be assigned to groups of 4-5 student for the discussion discussion.

Didactic methods

In-room lectures, team working

According to the Decision of the Teaching Boards of Mathematics on 14.Oct.2022: "The rights of students will be preserved in situations of travel limitation or confinement due to national provisions to combat COVID or in particular situations of fragile health. In these cases, you are invited to contact the teacher directly to organize the most appropriate remedial strategies."

Learning assessment procedures

The exam is divided into a written and an oral test, the two tests must be passed in the same exam session. There are no difference between the assessment of attending or non-attending students.

There will be also two partial test, one at the mid of the semester (indicatively, end of November), and the other one at the end of the semester. The first part will concern the first part of the program (until the introduction to the Calculus of Variations included), and the second on the remaining part of the program. The students who will pass both the partial tests, can directly access to the oral part in the exam session of February.

After the oral part, the teacher will propose the final mark (on the Italian ranking system from 18 to 30).

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

- Knowledge and understanding: a part of the written and the oral tests will be devoted to verify the effective knowledge and understanding of the course's contents (mainly, the third exercise of the written test and the oral test).

- Applying knowledge and understanding: both during the written and the oral tests, the student will be required to solve problems based on the course's contents.

- Making judgements: during the tests, the student can be asked to solve problems requiring a contribution basing on the material of the course assigned for personal study.

- Communication skills: during the written and the oral tests, the solutions expressed in a clear, complete and short way will be preferred.

- Learning skills: part of the course's contents will be based on textbook or scientific articles left to the students for personal study.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The written test is concerns three exercise, and each of them will have the same contribute to the final mark. The first two exercises (one on the first part and the other on the second part of the program) will require the solution of specific problems. The third will be composed of questions on the whole of the program or on the material given to the students, asking for short open answers.

Each of the partial test will concern the relative part of the program, and will be made of three exercise. The first two will require the solution of specific problems, and the third one will be composed of questions on the relative part of the program or on the material given to the students, asking for short open answers. It will be mandatory for the student to solve the third exercise and choose one between the first and the second.

The oral part will test the whole of the program of the course.

Type D and Type F activities

Type D learning activities are the student's choice, type F activities are additional knowledge useful for job placement (internships, transversal skills, project works, etc.). According to the Teaching Regulations of the Course, some activities can be chosen and entered independently in the booklet, others must be approved by a special committee to verify their consistency with the study plan. Type D or F learning activities can be covered by the following activities.

1. Modules taught at the University of Verona

Include the modules listed below and/or in the Course Catalogue (which can also be filtered by language of delivery via Advanced Search).

Booklet entry mode: if the teaching is included among those listed below, the student can enter it independently during the period in which the curriculum is open; otherwise, the student must make a request to the Secretariat, sending the form to carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it during the period indicated.

2. CLA certificate or language equivalency

In addition to those required by the curriculum/study plan, the following are recognized for those matriculated from A.Y. 2021/2022:

  • English language: 3 CFUs are recognized for each level of proficiency above that required by the course of study (if not already recognized in the previous course of study).
  • Other languages and Italian for foreigners: 3 CFUs are recognized for each proficiency level starting from A2 (if not already recognized in the previous study cycle).

These CFUs will be recognized, up to a maximum of 6 CFUs in total, of type F if the study plan allows it, or of type D. Additional elective credits for language knowledge may be recognized only if consistent with the student's educational project and if adequately justified.

Those enrolled until A.Y. 2020/2021 should consult the information found here.

Method of inclusion in the booklet: request the certificate or equivalency from CLA and send it to the Student Secretariat - Careers for the inclusion of the exam in the career, by email: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it

3. Transversal skills

Discover the training paths promoted by the University's TALC - Teaching and learning center intended for students regularly enrolled in the academic year of course delivery https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali

Mode of inclusion in the booklet: the teaching is not expected to be included in the curriculum. Only upon obtaining the Open Badge will the booklet CFUs be automatically validated. The registration of CFUs in career is not instantaneous, but there will be some technical time to wait.  

4. CONTAMINATION LAB 

The Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) is an experiential course with modules on innovation and enterprise culture that offers the opportunity to work in teams with students from all areas to solve challenges set by companies and organisations.  

Upon completion of a CLab, students will be entitled to receive 6 CFU (D- or F-type credits).  

Find out more:  https://www.univr.it/clabverona 

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.  

5. Internship/internship period

In addition to the CFUs stipulated in the curriculum/study plan (check carefully what is indicated on the Teaching Regulations): here information on how to activate the internship. 

Check in the regulations which activities can be Type D and which can be Type F.

Double degree

The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.

Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.

It's online Erasmus + - double joint degree a.y. 2024/2025

The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!

For the presentation of the LA and subsequent recognition of CFUs, please refer to the International Mobility Regulations.

Final examination regulations

Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).

The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.

Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.

Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.

The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.

The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.

The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.

For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
