VADOR Events Calendar

Our team is constantly involved in research projects, frequently involving collaboration with international scientists and institutions. Research is carried out in a number of languages, however we present mostly in English.

We frequently host one off lectures on topics relating to variational analysis, dynamics and operations research.  In term-time, we host different speakers at our weekly AKOR seminar.  Seminars take place most Thursdays at 3pm in Sem. R. DB gelb 04.  Once a month, the AKOR seminar will be replaced by the Vienna Seminar on Optimization, opens an external URL in a new window - a joint venture with Radu Bot and Yurii Malitskyi of the University of Vienna

We organise the Viennese Conference on Optimal Control and Dynamic Games, typically every three years.  The next iteration - VC2025 - will take place in July 2025.  For further details on this conference, and its forerunners, please visit the VC2025, opens an external URL in a new window website.

Topics and speakers for all forthcoming events will be posted below.

Vienna Seminar on Optimization: Displacement smoothness of entropic optimal transport and applications

Seminar

Guillaume Carlier, Université Paris Dauphine

Entropic approximation of optimal transport has received a lot of attention in the last years, in particular because it leads to the popular Sinkhorn algorithm. In this talk, I will show that the potentials of entropic optimal transport depend in a smooth way on the marginals along « displacement » perturbations ». I will then discuss some applications in urban dynamics modelling and meteorology. This is a joint work with Lénaïc Chizat and Maxime Laborde.
