Friday, June 12, 2009
For
more
than
thirty
years,
Arkadi
Nemirovski
has
been
a
leader
in
continuous
optimization.
He
has
played
central
roles
in
three
of
the
major
breakthroughs
in
optimization,
namely,
the
ellipsoid
method
for
convex
optimization,
the
extension
of
modern
interior-point
methods
to
convex
optimization,
and
the
development
of
robust
optimization.
All
of
these
contributions
have
had
tremendous
impact,
going
significantly
beyond
the
original
domain
of
the
discoveries
in
their
theoretical
and
practical
consequences.
