Every Thursday, I participate in an optimization seminar hosted by my alma mater, the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). The talks take place at 10am US Eastern time, but have moved online for obvious reasons. And now that the seminars are online, our audience has expanded greatly: we have participants from Taiwan, South Korea, Chile, and India for example.
With increased participation comes increased pressure to say something interesting every week. The meetings are informal -- the talks range from introductory-level to half-baked research ideas, and "optimization" is interpreted loosely. The average talk is about an hour, but can run longer, keeping in mind that it's the middle of the night for some people. The following are in-scope: * Anything with "optimization" in the name * Linear algebra / matrix theory * Operations research * Linear, integer, and conic programming * Complementarity problems * Functional analysis * Convexity, polytopes, polyhedra * Euclidean Jordan algebras * Graph theory * Machine learning * Approximation theory * Software and algorithms for any of the above If anyone would like to participate, or especially if you would like to give a talk at some point, please let me know and I'll email you the WebEx link.
