Title: Conic lifts of convex sets
Speaker: | Nathan Benedetto |
Institution: | University of Waterloo |
Location: | MC 6029 |
Abstract: Conic programming provides a natural setting in which Yannakakis's factorization result generalizes. After establishing this result (basically by repeating the proof presented by Pashkovich!), one can tackle the actually important question: why would a simple person, living in a simple polyhedral world, ever want to go beyond linear programming?

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
