Heinz H. Bauschke is a Full Professor of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia (Okanagan campus). His main research interests are in convex analysis and optimization, monotone operator theory, projection methods, and applications. He has authored or co-authored more than 125 refereed publications, including 1 book, and co-edited several conference proceedings with Springer.Regina S. Burachik is an associate professor in the School of Information Technology and Mathematical Sciences at the University of South Australia (UniSA). Regina’s research focuses on several aspects of optimization, ranging from functional analysis and variational inequalities to practical applications. She publishes in optimization theory, solution techniques for nonsmooth optimization, and convergence analysis of algorithms. Regina has published more than 60 journal articles and co-authored a Springer book with A.N. Iusem.D. Russell Luke is professor of continuous optimization at the Institute for Numerical and Applied Mathematics at the Georg-August University of Göttingen where he leads the workgroup in continuous optimization and variational analysis. Prof. Luke has published over fifty refereed journal articles and proceedings and is co-author of one book. This is his second edited volume with Springer.
