6- Course on LMI in Prague, April 2013
(source: D. Henrion)

Contributed by: Didier Henrion, henrion at laas.fr

Course on LMI optimization with applications in control
by Didier Henrion, LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France
and Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic.
http://homepages.laas.fr/henrion

Venue and dates:
The course is given at the Czech Technical University in Prague,
Charles Square, down-town Prague (Karlovo Namesti 13, 12135 Praha 2)
during the first week of April 2013. It consists of seven two-hour
lectures, given on Tue 2 Apr, Wed 3 Apr, Thu 4 Apr from 10am to noon
and from 2pm to 4pm, and Fri 5 Apr from 10am to noon. There is no
admission fee, students and reseachers from external institutions
are particularly welcome, but please send an e-mail to
henrion at laas.fr to register.

Description:
This is a course for graduate students or researchers with some
background in linear algebra, convex optimization and linear control
systems. The focus in on systems control applications of semidefinite
programming (SDP), or optimization over linear matrix inequalities (LMIs),
an extension of linear programming to the cone of positive semidefinite
matrices.

Outline:
In the first part of the course, historical developments of LMIs and
SDP are surveyed. Convex sets that can be represented with LMIs are
classified and studied. LMI relaxations are introduced to solve
non-convex polynomial optimization problems, with a focus on the
primal theory of measures and moments and dual theory of polynomial
sum-of-squares. Interior-point methods and algorithms are described
to solve LMI problems and latest achievements in software and solvers
are reported. The second part of the course, more advanced and closer
to current research topics, focuses on the use of measures and moments
for static polynomial optimisation problems, as well as occupation
measures for polynomial differential equations and related
polynomial optimal control problems.

7- Nonlinear optimization : a bridge from theory to applications, Erice
(source: M. Th�ra)

Erice, Italy
June 10-17, 2013

This is the 59th Workshop of the International School of
Mathematics "G. Stampacchia" at the Ettore Majorana Centre
and Fondation for Scientific Culture (EMCFSC). It is the
seventh Workshop on Nonlinear Optimization and related topics.
The preceding ones have been held every three years starting
from 1995.

The Workshop will be held in Erice, Sicily, Italy, at the EMCFSC.

The Workshop aims to review and discuss recent advances and
promising research trends in Nonlinear Optimization and to
provide a forum for fruitful interactions in strictly related
fields of research, with a particular focus on applications.

Topics include constrained and unconstrained nonlinear optimization,
global optimization, mixed integer nonlinear programming,
derivative-free methods, nonsmooth optimization, nonlinear
complementarity problems, variational inequalities, equilibrium problems,
game theory, bilevel optimization, optimization and machine learning,
applications of nonlinear optimization

The Workshop will include invited lectures (1 hour) and
contributed lectures (30 minutes). Members of the international
scientific community are invited to contribute a lecture
describing their current research and applications.

8- Joint ICORD/EWG-ORD workshop June 27-28, Rome
(source: T. Champion)

Early career/PhD researchers who work in the area of OR for Development are
invited to participate in this joint workshop in Rome on June 27-28, prior
to the EURO-INFORMS conference in Rome, June 30- July 4, 2013. All papers
presented are eligible for submission to the IFORS Prize Competition.

Background: The International Conference on OR for Development (ICORD)
(http://ifors.org/web/icord-history) is joining with EURO Working Group on
Operational Research for Development (EWG-ORD);
http://web.ing.puc.cl/~fcrespo/eurofdv/) for this workshop entitled
"Operations Research: Addressing Issues of Development".

To qualify, participants are required to submit a full paper (of at least
1500 words) on their work which has used  OR to help the decision-making
process in the areas of education, health, water and other basic services,
technology, resource use (physical or financial), infrastructure,
agricultural/industrialization or environmental sustainability, that help
optimize development in view of constraints and limited resources. A stress
on developmental issues will be an important factor; papers of a purely
technical nature, or those that have no relevance in the developmental
context, will not be considered. All papers presented are eligible for
submission to the IFORS Prize Competition.

Workshop Registration Fee: USD 200
A limited number of places will be available for accommodation and
registration support, which will depend on the quality of material
submitted.

Please email your proposed paper to: icord_ewgsubmissions at ifors.org
For further details, see the website,
http://ifors.org/web/joint-icordewg-ord-workshop/

Important dates: Full Paper Submission: January 30, 2013 Notification of
Acceptance: February 15, 2013

9- Numerical linear algebra and optimization, Vancouver, August 2013
(source: M. Th�ra)

A workshop on numerical linear algebra and optimization will take place at
the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, on August 8-10,
2013.
The scope of the workshop is fairly broad, involving the interplay between
numerical linear algebra and optimization, with special attention to
optimization
problems concerning eigenvalues and singular values. The workshop will honor
Michael Overton on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Please see the conference website

   http://www.pims.math.ca/scientific-event/130808-wnlao

for further details, including the list of confirmed invited speakers.

The conference is hosted by PIMS (Pacific Institute for the
Mathematical Sciences),
whose support is gratefully acknowledged.  Other support is pending.

Everyone is warmly invited to attend the workshop.  Some travel
support will be
available for early-career researchers and Ph.D. students who
participate in the
poster session: see the web page for details.

We look forward to seeing many of our friends and colleagues in August
in Vancouver!
