DESCRIPTION:Title: Twice Epi-Differentiability: Theory and Applications\n\n
 Abstract :\n\nIn this talk\, we discuss various aspects of twice epi-diffe
 rentiablity of extended-real-valued functions and demonstrate how it can b
 e leveraged to study the local convergence analysis of the augmented Lagra
 ngian method for composite optimization problems. We begin with presenting
  the history of twice epi-differentiablity and proceed with its evolution 
 in the last three decades. In particular\, we demonstrate that this proper
 ty often holds for various classes of functions\, commonly seen in applica
 tions to optimization problems. If time allows\, we will discuss further a
 pplications of this concept in stability properties of generalized equatio
 ns and show that it can be used to achieve a simple characterization of co
 ntinuous differentiability of the proximal mapping for a large class of fu
 nctions\, called C^2-decomposable.\n
