Title: On excluded minors for real-representability
Speaker: | Rutger Campbell |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 5479 |
Abstract:
We show that any real representable matroid is a minor of an excluded-minor (for real-representability) that is complex-representable.
Title: On the Douglas-Rachford algorithm
Speaker: | Heinz Bauschke |
Affiliation: | University of British Columbia |
Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
The Douglas-Rachford algorithm is a popular splitting method for finding a minimizer of the sum of two convex (possibly nonsmooth) functions; or, more generally, a zero of the sum of two maximally monotone operators.

Speaker: | Chris Godsil |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 6486 |
