Convex sets, convex optimization and some inequalities

Speaker: Levent Tuncel
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics and Computer Building (MC) 4040

Abstract:

We will start by touching on a few fundamental concepts in convex optimization. Then, we will venture on a journey guided by some recent developments. This will take us through a path that will visit solutions and connections to certain problems in combinatorics, operator theory and quantum computing.
