8- PGMO-COPI'14 registration till October 19th
(source : PGMO)

We have the pleasure to inform you that registrations for the
PGMO-COPI Conference,
organised on 28-31 october at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris-Saclay
France, are open
till October 19th.

You can register by following this link:
http://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/fr/pgmo-copi-14/registrations

A provisionnal program (which is still subject to changes) has been
published.

The Gaspard Monge Program for Optimization and operations research
(PGMO), launched
by EDF and the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation (FMJH), is a
new type of
corporate patronage whose aim is to foster, liven up a mathematical
community of
researchers coming from academia and industry, working in the field of
optimization and
opera�tion research from academic themes to industrial issues.

The Conference on Optimization and Practices in Industry (COPI) is
devoted to applied
op�timization techniques used in a wide range of industrial problems
(energy, banking,
trans�portation and network management). The purpose is to bring
together Academics
and Industrials to share different experiences and discuss future
trends related to this area.
This year, a joint conference PGMO-COPI?14 will be held on October
28th to 31st 2014,
Ecole Polytechnique in Paris-Saclay. Both theoretical and practical
issues will be considered.

-------------------------------------------------------------
9- Doc-Course 2015: Applied Mathematics and Optimization
(source : J. Koko)

This activity is co-organized by the Basque Center for Applied
Mathematics (BCAM), the University
of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) and the Institute of Mathematics of
the University of Sevilla (IMUS).
It is addressed to beginner and intermediate graduate students from
institutions all over the world
interested in Applied Mathematics, Optimization and related areas.
Official language is English and
participants will receive a  diploma of the organizing institutions
certifying good performance.

The Doc-Course is a twelve-weeks intensive school from 2nd March till
29th May, 2015 and it consists
of four weeks of courses in Seville, 6 weeks of research activity
under the guidance of specialized
supervisors and two Workshops (the 5th week in Seville and the last
week in Bilbao) where the
participants will have the opportunity to report on the work made
during the whole course.

The applicants should fill out the online form available at the link:

http://www.imus.us.es/DC/2014_OPT/registrationAndGrants.php

Those wishing to be considered for financial support should indicate
in their application form. This
financial support will cover lodging and food during the whole
doc-course for up to 20 non-resident
students, and trips Bilbao-Sevilla for all students. The applicants
should cover the inscription fees
(EUR 200). There are 25 positions.

For futher information, please visit the Doc-Course website:

http://www.imus.us.es/DC/2014_OPT/index.html

We kindly ask you to distribute this call among colleagues and
potential candidates. Please do not
hesitate to contact us for any additional information.

10- BFG'15, Brittish-French-German Conference on Optimization, 15-17
June 2015, London
(source : J.-B. Caillau, J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty)

Le prochain colloque BFG d'optimisation se tiendra � Londres � la
mi-juin 2015 ; BFG est l'acronyme
pour British-French-German. Voir les infos dans le site web ci-apr�s :

http://optimisation.doc.ic.ac.uk/bfg2015/

Quelques pr�cisions :
- Apr�s AFG'11 � Toulouse et FGP'13 � Cracovie, BFG'15 se
d�roulera �
Londres. Les dates retenues
sont un peu inhabituelles, en juin plut�t qu'en septembre. Ce sont des
contraintes de disponibilit�
d'amphis et de salles � Imperial College qui ont conduit � ce choix.
- Initialement, � Cracovie notamment, ce colloque avait �t� programm�
en France (en r�gion parisienne
ou en Normandie). Les organisateurs pressentis ne pouvant donner suite
facilement cette fois-ci, nos
coll�gues anglais ont fait la proposition au-dessus.
- Londres est une ville ch�re, ce qui fait qu'on l'�carte souvent pour
organiser des colloques. Nos
coll�gues londoniens nous ont assur� de disponibilit�s � des prix
raisonnables dans le sud-ouest de
Londres � cette �poque-l�.

 From the organizers :
We would like to draw your attention to the 17th British-French-German
Conference on Optimization held at Imperial College London, UK, on
June 15th-17th, 2015. The conference will address all aspects of
optimization and its applications, including optimization theory and
algorithm design, robust and stochastic optimization, variational
inequalities and convex analysis as well as applications in control
theory, energy, finance, operations management and engineering. More
information about the conference series, which started in Oberwolfach
in 1980, can be found at http://optimisation.doc.ic.ac.uk/bfg2015.
Further enquiries can also be sent to bfg2015 at imperial.ac.uk.

(source : J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty)

Paru dans QUADRATURE (num�ro d'octobre-d�cembre 2014), l'article-revue
de popularisation suivant :

La g�om�trie du triangle et l'optimisation convexe font bon m�nage...
par Jean-Baptiste HIRIART-URRUTY
Nous montrons dans ce travail comment la g�om�trie (classique) du
triangle et l'optimisation Convexe
(moderne) font bon m�nage. Dans ce qui constitue l'essentiel de notre
approche, nous revisitons les
points particuliers du triangle, les plus connus du moins, � la seule
lumi�re de l'optimisation.
Nous montrons comment ils sont les solutions uniques de probl�mes de
minimisation dont les fonctions-objectifs
sont d�finies � partir des distances aux c�t�s du triangle ou des
distances aux sommets du triangle.
Les fonctions-objectifs qui entrent en jeu sont toutes convexes, mais
certaines sont non diff�rentiables.
N�anmoins, les conditions n�cessaires et suffisantes d'optimalit� en
minimisation convexe sont applicables
dans tous les cas, elles conduisent pr�cis�ment � la
caract�risation �
variationnelle � des points familiers
du triangle : isobarycentre, point de FERMAT, point de LEMOINE, centre
du cercle inscrit, centre du cercle
circonscrit, orthocentre. Deux autres probl�mes d'optimisation li�s au
triangle compl�tent notre article.
