Title: On excluded minors for real-representability
| Speaker: | Rutger Campbell |

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.
