Conference on Approximation and Complexity in Numerical Opt imization: Continous and Discrete Problems

该奖项支持将于1999年2月28日至3月2日在佛罗里达大学应用优化中心举行的关于数值优化中的逼近和复杂性：连续和离散问题的会议。会议的主要目的是为从事离散和非凸规划理论、近似算法和应用的研究人员提供一个独特的机会，讨论最近的研究进展，为联合研究合作奠定基础，并促进未来的跨学科研究。

This award supports a conference on ``Approximation and Complexity in Numerical Optimization:Continuous and Discrete Problems'' to be held at theCenter for Applied Optimization, University of Florida,February 28 - March 2, 1999. The conference will be concerned with new algorithmic approaches, applications and software forcomputationally difficult discrete and continuous optimization problems.The major objective of the meeting is to provide a unique opportunityfor researchers working on theory, approximation algorithms, andapplications of discrete and non-convex programming, to discuss recentresearch advances, to establish a foundation for joint research cooperation,and to stimulate future interdisciplinary research.
