Methods of variational analysis and generalized differentiation play an increasing role in modern optimization and optimal control. The main goal of this course is to overview basic variational principles and advanced constructions of generalized differentiation that flourish a rather comprehensive theory with numerous applications to optimization and control. Among applications, we plan to consider some classes of nondifferentiable and bilevel programming and optimal control of the sweeping process.
