Semidefinite Optimierung / Semidefinite Optimization (B02)

Starts April 6, 9:15, by telephone- or video-conference; details will be sent to registered participants by email.

Content: Linear optimization over cones (in particular second order cone SOC and positive semdefinite cone PSC), duality theory, SOC- and PSC-representable sets, solution methods and applications: discrete optimization, sum-of-squares (SOS) and moment matrices, polynomial optimization, robust optimization

Organization: Lecture notes will be retrievable in advance. Please study those in advance, important aspects and questions will be discussed online during the time scheduled for the respective lecture (Mon 9:15). Participants will be notified about the nature of the online meetings in time. Likely, we will all learn over time how to do this best!
