ICMS 2016 Session on
POLYHEDRAL METHODS IN GEOMETRY AND OPTIMIZATION
as part of
The 5th International Congress on Mathematical Software
July 11 - 14 2016, Berlin
http://icms2016.zib.de/
AIMS AND SCOPE:
Polyhedra occur in many contexts in geometry and optimization. For
example, convex polyhedra occur in optimization as the feasible regions
of linear programs. Moreover, integer linear programming is the same as
linear programming over the convex hull of the lattice points in a
polyhedron. In algebraic geometry and its applications, piecewise-linear
shapes occur in the guise of polyhedral fans. Examples include secondary
and Gröbner fans. This session wants to bring together people working on
algorithms and software dealing with any of the above.
Specific topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- convex hull computations
- (mixed integer) linear programming
- explicit methods for triangulating point configurations
- computations in toric or tropical geometry
- parallelization of polyhedral computations
- polyhedral methods in algebraic statistics
- algorithms exploiting symmetry in any of the above
