Software for Exact Integration of Polynomials over Polyhedra

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Brandon Dutra, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Mon, Nov 7 2011, 4:10PM

We are interested in the fast computation of the exact value of integrals of polynomial functions over convex polyhedra. Such integrands are useful for many different problems. I will give an overview of the applications, demo two different integration algorithms, and discuss benchmark computations. co-authors: Prof. De Loera, Prof. Koeppe, S. Moreinis, G. Pinto, J. Wu.
