BMS Summer School 2015
"Convex Geometry - Discrete and Computational"
http://www.math-berlin.de/academics/summer-schools
The aim of the Summer School is to introduce contemporary methods from discrete and computational convex geometry to a broad audience ranging from graduate students to postdocs and junior faculty. The central theme is the computation with (non)linear convex bodies by way of structural insights.
The Summer School will be held from the
29th of June to the 10th of July
in the locations Technische Universität Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin.
Lectures will be given by:
- Alexander Barvinok (U Michigan): Integer points in polyhedra
- Greg Blekherman (Georgia Tech): Convex geometry of nonnegative polynomials
- Jesus de Loera (UC Davis): Convex geometry problems from optimization
- Frank Vallentin (U Köln): Packings, coverings, and embeddings
The summer school is supported by the Berlin Mathematical School, the SFB/Transregio 109 "Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics" and the RTG 1408 "Methods for Discrete Structures".
