Description: Discrete optimization is an extremely active area with increasingly deepening connections to other areas of mathematics. We aim to take classical areas of discrete optimization in modern directions, and to foster the use of techniques from other areas.
Associated Events:
Summer School on modern directions in discrete optimization (September 13 - 17, 2021)
Workshop: Tropical geometry and the geometry of linear programming (September 20 - 24, 2021)
Workshop: Continuous approaches to discrete optimization (October 11 - 15, 2021)
Workshop: Approximation and relaxation (November 15 - 19, 2021)
Workshop: Parametrized complexity and discrete optimization (December 6 - 10, 2021)
