VADOR Events Calendar

Our team is constantly involved in research projects, frequently involving collaboration with international scientists and institutions. Research is carried out in a number of languages, however we present mostly in English.

We frequently host one off lectures on topics relating to variational analysis, dynamics and operations research.  In term-time, we host different speakers at our weekly AKOR seminar.  Seminars take place most Thursdays at 3pm in Sem. R. DB gelb 04.  Once a month, the AKOR seminar will be replaced by the Vienna Seminar on Optimization, opens an external URL in a new window - a joint venture with Radu Bot and Yurii Malitskyi of the University of Vienna

We organise the Viennese Conference on Optimal Control and Dynamic Games, typically every three years.  The next iteration - VC2025 - will take place in July 2025.  For further details on this conference, and its forerunners, please visit the VC2025, opens an external URL in a new window website.

Topics and speakers for all forthcoming events will be posted below.

07. March 2024, 15:00 until 17:00

AKOR Seminar: Convex cones and their properties: a geometric perspective

Seminar

Vera Roshchina, UNSW Sydney

Many properties of facial structure of convex sets coincide in the real vector spaces of dimensions 2 and 3 but differ in higher dimensions. This talk will cover several such properties and their relations, including facial exposure, facial dual completeness (niceness), amenability and projectional exposure. Even though the definitions of these properties are of a different nature, they form a neat hierarchy. Some new techniques that allow using geometric intuition in four- and five-dimensional spaces will be presented.
The talk is based on joint work with Bruno Lourenço (The Institute of Statistical Mathematics/SOKENDAI, Japan) and James Saunderson (Monash University, Australia).
