Description:
This conference is the fifth of a series dedicated to research on Approximation and Optimization in the Caribbean. This series was jointly initiated by Humboldt University (Berlin), RWTH (Aachen) and Havana University (Havana). The first two issues were held in Havana in 1987 and 1993. Since then, these meetings are organized every two years in a new country from the Caribbean area: Puebla (Mexico) in 1995, Caracas (Venezuela) in 1997, Pointe à Pitre (Guadeloupe) in 1999. They are supervised by an Executive Committee.

The goal of these conferences is to support the development of high level education and research in the Caribbean. They propose tutorials, mini-symposia, invited lectures and contributed talks, on the following topics:

* Approximation: Wavelets, polynomial and rational approximation, splines, orthogonal polynomials, interpolation, asymptotic analysis, radial basis functions.

* Optimization: Nonlinear equations and inequalities, continuous and discrete optimization, parametric, stochastic and global optimization, nonsmooth analysis, critical point theory, control theory.

* Mathematical Economics: Fixed point theory, equilibria of competitive economies, financial markets, cooperative and non-cooperative games.

* Applications: Engineering and energy models, robotics, pattern recognition, image restoration, applications in biology, economy and sciences.

Speakers: A. P. Araujo (Brazil), H. Attouch (France), A. Bensoussan (France), P.-L. Butzer (Germany), F. Clarke (France), I. Ekeland (France), C. C. Gonzaga (Brazil), T. Ichiishi (U.S.A.), A. Ioffe (Israel), E. Saft (U.S.A.), S. Smale (Hong Kong), H. Stahl (Germany), W. Van Assche (Belgium)
