GeoLMI 2013 - Conference on Geometry and Algebra of Linear Matrix Inequalities
12-16 November 2013
Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM),
University of Marseille, Luminy, France.
Scope
This is a conference organized by Didier Henrion and Monique Laurent,
jointly with the 3rd official meeting of the
GeoLMI project
funded by the French National Research Agency.
It is also sponsored by the French CNRS Working Group
MOA (Mathematics
of Optimization and Applications).
The conference aims at bringing together various researchers
in pure and applied mathematics
(real algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, functional analysis,
continuous and discrete optimization) interested in linear matrix inequalities
and their application areas (operations research, system control,
performance analysis of dynamical systems).
Date and venue
The conference takes place from Tuesday 12 November to
Saturday 16 November 2013 at CIRM
on the Luminy campus of the University of Marseille, France.
Note that
Monday 11 November is holiday in France, but participants of the conference
are welcome at CIRM from 5pm on this day.
Note also that there is a morning
session on Saturday 16 November. Participants can have lunch at CIRM
just before leaving.
Registration and accomodation
Registration to the conference is free of charge but mandatory, and external attendees are
expected to use their own funding to cover traveling and accomodation costs.
The number of participants is limited to 86.
If you wish to participate, please contact directly the
CIRM staff.
CIRM can accomodate additional participants in 31 double rooms and 1 triple room.
The fees of board and lodging at CIRM can be found here.
Registrations and rooms will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis.
But if you have a preference with whom to share a room please let us know.
Confirmed participants
See the CIRM workshop webpage for an updated list of confirmed registered participants.
