Optimal Solutions of Integer Programs

Student-Run Research Seminar

Speaker: Rekha Thomas, UC San Diego- Texas A & M Univ.
Location: 593 Kerr
Start time: Tue, May 9 2000, 3:10PM

In this talk I will discuss some old and new theoretical methods for preprocessing a family of integer programs so that the optimal solution to any given program in the family can be obtained by solving a simpler set of problems. The results come from the work of Wolsey and Kannan, and more recent methods using Groebner bases.
