[theory students] No seminar this week, Alberto Del Pia on Dec 6, Updated website

[Sandeep Silwal <silwal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

1) We have no theory seminar this week; enjoy Thanksgiving! 

2) Next week on Dec 6, 2-3pm we will have our very own Alberto Del Pia from engineering. 

Title:

Minimizing quadratics over integers

 

Abstract:

Mixed integer quadratic programming is the problem of minimizing a quadratic polynomial over points in a polyhedral region with some integer components. It is a natural extension of mixed integer linear programming, and it has a wide array of applications. In this talk, I will survey some recent theoretical developments in mixed integer quadratic programming, with a focus on complexity, algorithms, and fundamental properties.

3) Our theory website is mostly updated thanks to the heroic efforts of Manolis! Students, if you are not here yet: https://research.cs.wisc.edu/areas/theory/people and would like to be included, please send me your photo and email. We are leaving it up to you if you want to self identify as theory students :)

Best,

Sandeep
