UMBC Optimization seminar

[Michael Orlitzky]

Every Thursday, I participate in an optimization seminar hosted by my
alma mater, the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). The
talks take place at 10am US Eastern time, but have moved online for
obvious reasons. And now that the seminars are online, our audience has
expanded greatly: we have participants from Taiwan, South Korea, Chile,
and India for example.

With increased participation comes increased pressure to say something
interesting every week. The meetings are informal -- the talks range
from introductory-level to half-baked research ideas, and "optimization"
is interpreted loosely. The average talk is about an hour, but can run
longer, keeping in mind that it's the middle of the night for some
people. The following are in-scope:

* Anything with "optimization" in the name
* Linear algebra / matrix theory
* Operations research
* Linear, integer, and conic programming
* Complementarity problems
* Functional analysis
* Convexity, polytopes, polyhedra
* Euclidean Jordan algebras
* Graph theory
* Machine learning
* Approximation theory
* Software and algorithms for any of the above

If anyone would like to participate, or especially if you would like to
give a talk at some point, please let me know and I'll email you the
WebEx link. (You don't have to talk to lurk.)

For more online seminars see researchseminars.org, a site I created this spring with colleagues at MIT.  There are currently 518 upcoming talks listed in math.  Michael, if you know the organizers of your optimization seminar I would encourage them to add it to the site (you can have them contact me for an endorsement).

Thanks! I'm working on the sales pitch, but this is awesome either way.
I'm bookmarking it for myself.
