[comp.theory] workshop: complexity issues for numerical optimization

vavasis@afi.cs.cornell.edu (Stephen Vavasis) (01/24/91)

			     Workshop on
	     COMPLEXITY ISSUES FOR NUMERICAL OPTIMIZATION
			   Ithaca, New York
			  March 22--23, 1991

Supported by the United States Air Force Office of Scientific
Research; the United States Army Research Office through the
Mathematical Sciences Institute of Cornell; and Pennsylvania State
University.

Organized by Panos M. Pardalos (Pennsylvania State University) and
Stephen A. Vavasis (Cornell University).  Held in cooperation with
SIAM.

Powerful algorithms have been developed for numerical optimization
problems since the 1940's, but these problems remain among the most
computationally intensive tasks in existence.  In recent years the
need has grown to solve problems with large numbers of unknowns.  This
demands an understanding of the asymptotic behavior of algorithms for
these problems.

Our understanding of the asymptotic complexity issues has grown
immensely in the past 15 years.  At this workshop, invited speakers
will present state-of-the-art research on new algorithms for
optimization problems and their complexity.

The workshop will feature approximately 15 invited speakers during a
two-day period.  There will be no contributed papers.  Scheduled
speakers include:
 I. Adler (Berkeley)            N. Shor (Kiev)
 D. Du (Princeton)              E. Tardos (Cornell)
 N. Karmarkar (AT&T Bell Labs)  M. Todd (Cornell)
 V. Klee (Washington)           C. Tovey (Georgia Tech)
 N. Megiddo (IBM and Tel Aviv)  P. Vaidya (Illinois)
 K. Murty (Michigan)            G. Wasilkowski (Kentucky)
 J. Renegar (Cornell)           Y. Ye (Iowa)
as well as the organizers.

Hotel and conference registration is limited.  The registration
fee is $80. For registration forms and more information, contact:
