ABOUT CONFERENCE

It is our great pleasure to announce the International Conference on Non-linear Analysis and Optimization (ICAN-OPT_NEPAL_2025) that will be held on May 08 -10, 2025 (Baishakh 25 – 27, 2082) at Kathmandu University, Nepal. It includes a Workshop on Fixed Point Theory and Applications” is organized by Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel in collaboration of Tribhuvan University, Nepal Sanskrit University and Nepal Mathematical Society. Dhulikhel is a municipality situated just 30 kilometers southeast of Kathmandu connecting two major highways; BP highway (India) and Araniko highway (China).

Mathematics always plays a vital role in the society with its tremendous applications in various disciplines from applied science to social sciences. The topics of the conference are of interest in its own right and it also serves to lay the foundation for different fields of pure and applied mathematics. Researchers across the world are actively involved in analyzing and developing different theories of mathematics which are applicable to real world problems.

The Non-linear analysis is a broad, interdisciplinary field characterized by a remarkable mixture of analysis, topology and applications. Its concepts and techniques provide the tools for developing more realistic and accurate models for variety of phenomena encountered in fields ranging from Engineering, and Chemistry to Economics and Biology. On the other hand, Optimization comes from the same root as “Optimal” which means “Best”, is one of the most powerful tools in process integration. As a branch of applied mathematics, Optimization involves the selection of the “Best” solution from among the set of candidate solutions.

The rich variety of topics, both theoretical & applied, makes both non-linear and optimization useful to everyone. The Topic of the Conference includes (but NOT limited to):

The topics of the conference will cover all aspects of the following items:

• Non-linear Analysis, Fixed point theory, Operator Theory
• Complex Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Wavelet Analysis, Special Functions
• Functional Analysis, Fourier Analysis, Numerical Analysis, Convex Analysis
• Optimization Theory, Queueing Theory, Finance & Economics
• Differential Equations, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Modelling
• Data Science and Machine Learning

The conference intends to bring together experts, faculties, students and researchers from classical and applied mathematics and from a variety of many other disciplines, where mathematics finds its numerous applications. The primary objective of the conference is to offer a common platform to interact with each other, to share their knowledge and experiences as well as to exchange their innovative ideas, views, and discuss the topics of mutual interests in the challenging and widely applied domain of mathematical analysis. The conference also offers the participants an opportunity to be familiar with the contemporary developments and recent trends in the subject and acquaint the young researchers. The conference in physical mode will brings the experts as well as the participants closer to each other.

The selected papers after thorough reviewing process will also be considered for possible publications in the special issue of Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and Technology (KUSET), a NepJOL indexed journal as per strict guidelines.

The conference committee cordially invites all who are interested faculty members and PhD/MPhil students to send their recent results relative to the topic of the conference.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all in our beautiful country Nepal.
