About the Journal

The Canadian Transactions of Nonlinear Problems and Optimization (CTNLPO) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in variational and optimization theory and their applications. The journal’s scope encompasses a wide array of topics, including calculus of variations, convex and nonconvex optimization, optimal control, variational inequalities, proximal and gradient methods, duality theory, and the interplay between optimization and fields such as mechanics, data science, economics, and engineering. CTNLPO aims to provide a global forum where theoreticians and practitioners alike can share innovative methodologies, rigorous analysis, and significant advancements in variational and optimization frameworks.

CTNLPO maintains rigorous academic standards through a comprehensive double-blind peer-review process, ensuring that only original, mathematically sound, and impactful contributions appear in its pages. We welcome submissions from researchers worldwide—whether they advance theoretical foundations, propose novel algorithms, or demonstrate compelling applications in allied disciplines. By disseminating cutting-edge results, CTNLPO seeks to foster collaboration across mathematics, computer science, engineering, and applied sciences, serving as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and students interested in advancing both the theory and practice of variational optimization.
