IndiCS Seminar 1: Continuous Methods in Discrete Optimization and Complexity
Date: October, 2024
Coordinators: Sujoy Bhore, Rohit Gurjar, Akash Kumar
Location: Infosys Mysore Campus
Host organization: Infosys
Abstract: In recent years, ideas originating from continuous domains have enabled some major progress on fundamental questions in discrete optimization and complexity theory. The seminar brought together researchers who are interested in exploring the rich interplay between continuous and discrete methods in theoretical computer science. The seminar had 21 talks, two open problem sessions, and multiple discussion sessions, through which it facilitated researchers from various sub-areas of TCS in learning tools and techniques from continuous domains, as well as in exploring potential problems where these methods can be effectively applied.
