Laurentiu Maxim (University of Wisconsin, Madison) : Algebraic and topological aspects of optimization

Séminaire « Géométrie algébrique »

16 avril 14:00 - 15:00 Salle Kampé de Feriet (Bâtiment M2, 1er étage)

I will present formulae for the Chern-Mather classes of (very) affine varieties in terms of their conormal geometry, and discuss some recent applications to the computation of the algebraic complexity degree of various optimization problems. (Based on joint work with Rodriguez, Wang and Wu.)
