AMS Special Session on Topological and Algebraic Approaches for Optimization
-
Wednesday January 3, 2024, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.
AMS Special Session on Topological and Algebraic Approaches for Optimization, I
Our goal is to explore the applications of real algebraic and o-minimal geometry, computational topology, and sheaf cohomology in computational complexity of optimization. This special session also aims to explore the issue of singularity and slow convergence in computational optimization through the lens of singularity theory and stratified Morse theory.
