Description:

The pursuit of more efficient algorithms for solving linear programs has been a driving force in the development of optimization theory, establishing beautiful connections to discrete mathematics, geometry, and analysis. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in optimization, tropical geometry, and other related areas, to further deepen the links between these areas, and get a better understanding of the geometry of polyhedra and the behaviour of various linear optimization algorithms.
