The team has developed a meaningful expertise in numerical optimization, within both the classes of projected gradient methods and of the Newton and quasi-Newton methods. The behaviour of these methods has been analyzed on different architectures and in several application fields, such as statistical learning, large-scale data processing, reconstruction of medical and astronomical images. These skills originated the development of a number of scientific software packages, designed for scalar as well as multiprocessor architectures, some of which are internationally known.
