*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summaries

Summary Sentence: Joint ACO/OR colloquium Cutting planes: A convex analysis perspective

Full Summary: This talk will be based on joint work with Borozan, Basu, Conforti and Zambelli. We extend a theorem of Lovasz characterizing maximal lattice-free convex sets. This result has implications in integer programming. In particular we show a ono-to-one correspondance between these sets and minimal inequalities.

Abstract

This talk will be based on joint work with Borozan, Basu, Conforti and Zambelli. We extend a theorem of Lovasz characterizing maximal lattice-free convex sets. This result has implications in integer programming. In particular we show a ono-to-one correspondance between these sets and minimal inequalities.
