Cher-e-s tou-te-s,

Excellente rentr�e � vous sous le signe de l'optimisation. Parmi les
prestigieux prix d�cern�s lors de l'ICM 2014, notons l'attribution du
prix Gauss � S. Osher (UCLA) connu entre autres pour ses travaux en
optimisation ("L^1 and total variation based convex optimization") ;
voir par exemple
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/khot-osher-griffiths
Notons �galement l'attribution du prix Nevanlinna � S. Khot (NYU) pour
la "Unique Games Conjecture" ; pour le lien avec max-cut, voir
http://www.simonsfoundation.org/mathematics-and-physical-science/approximately-hard-the-unique-games-conjecture

La rentr�e est marqu�e par plusieurs programmes th�matiques autour de
l'optimisation ou du calcul des variations ; citons entre autres les

5- PGMO-COST Workshop on Validation and Software
(source : PGMO)


PGMO together with the COST Action "Mathematical Optimization in the
Decision Support Systems for
Efficient and Robust Energy Networks" (see website :
http://cost-td1207.zib.de/) organise prior to the
COPI-PGMO'14 conference, on Monday October 27th in Ecole Polytechnique
(Paris-Saclay, France)  a
workshop related to Validation and Software.

The focus of this one-day workshop is to bring together expertise in
mathematic modelling, mathematical
optimization approaches and optimization software solutions for
real-world energy industry decision
optimization problems, as well as to discuss options for making
representative industry data public.

Every interested researcher is invited to participate in this event.
There is no registration fee for this workshop (but registration is
mandatory).

6- PGMO-COPI'14: Early registration fees available until Sept 21st
(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.
Early registration fees will be available until September 21st.

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.

11- The Special Issue Sorin is now online
(source : R. Laraki)


A special issue to celebrate Sylvain's birthday was announced during
that time.

It is now published online in a new review (Journal of Dynamics and Games).

http://aimsciences.org/journals/contentsListnew.jsp?pubID=695

The issue has been edited by Joseph Hofbauer, J�r�me Renault and myself.

We hope you enjoy the issue and that you will circulate this link
around you, and hopefully,
will submit from time to time a paper to the Journal of Dynamics and Games.

Let me thank again all the participant of the conference (it was
really great) and all th
  contributors of the special Issue.

Let us wish a happy 62 birthday to Sylvain !

All the best

12- Nouvelle collection de livres sur l'optimisation chez De Gruyter
(source : A. Henrot)


L'�diteur De Gruyter lance une nouvelle s�rie de livres sur
l'optimisation. Tous les aspects de
l'optimisation seront couverts: du calcul des variations � la
recherche op�rationnelle en passant
par le contr�le optimal, l'optimisation de forme, l'analyse
variationnelle,  l'optimisation convexe
et non lisse, l'optimisation num�rique, l'optimisation stochastique ...
Il s'agit d'une s�rie de livres en open access: compl�tement gratuits
pour les lecteurs, en principe
payants pour les auteurs (mais les premiers livres seront gratuits
pour les auteurs pour lancer la
collection).

13- Book "Convex Optimization Algorithms" by D. Bertsekas
(source : M. Th�ra)


The purpose of this email is to bring attention to the forthcoming
publication of my book
"Convex Optimization Algorithms".
I have posted prepublication versions of the first two chapters, the
appendixes, and the
references (nearly 200 pages) at

http://web.mit.edu/dimitrib/www/Convex_Alg_Chapters.html

They may be used freely for  instructional purposes, and will be
replaced by the final versions
once the book is published in December 2014. The final versions will
also be posted for free
instructional use.
Instructors who wish to inspect additional portions of the book may
contact me at dimitrib at mit.edu.

Another purpose of this email is to elicit feedback from the
community, including typos,
suggestions, and flawed referencing. Your comments will be very much
appreciated.
(Please excuse the anonymous character of this email.)

Thank you,
Dimitri Bertsekas
