Beyond Convergence: Innovative Iterative Frameworks for Fixed Point Problems, Variational Inequalities, and Optimization
The Guest Editors are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Optimization Eruditorum (OPER) devoted to recent developments in iterative methods, fixed point theory, variational inequalities, optimization, and their applications.
This Special Issue aims to bring together theoretical, algorithmic, and computational advances in iterative methods for solving nonlinear problems. Contributions addressing innovative algorithms, refined convergence analysis, acceleration techniques, and meaningful applications are particularly welcome.
We welcome original research on fixed point and common fixed point problems, variational inequalities, equilibrium problems, monotone operators, optimization, operator splitting, projection and proximal methods, and related topics. Applications in signal and image processing, inverse problems, machine learning, data science, optimal control, engineering, and economics are also encouraged.
