Title: An Introduction to Nonnegativity and Polynomial Optimization

Speaker: Timo de Wolff Affiliation: TU Braunschweig Location: MC 5501 or please contact Melissa Cambridge for Zoom link

Abstract:

In science and engineering, we regularly face polynomial optimization problems, that is: minimize a real, multivariate polynomial under polynomial constraints. Solving these problems is essentially equivalent to certifying of nonnegativity of real polynomials -- a key problem in real algebraic geometry since the 19th century.
