Title: Application of Function Theory to Different Optimization Problems.
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss two results of my research work completed during the sabbatical. The first result describes the asymptotic behavior of the maximal weighted Riesz polarization in the hyper-singular case (joint work with D.P. Hardin, A. Reznikov, and E.B. Saff). The second result provides a solution to the problem of optimal global recovery of three times differentiable functions on a multidimensional parallelepiped based on their values and gradients at its vertices. I will also mention my other sabbatical activities, which include development of a Senior Seminar course on selected topics from Discrete Geometry and my contributions to our joint research monograph with D.P. Hardin and E.B. Saff on the minimal energy problem.
