Overview
The AMSI 2011 Australian Graduate Theme Program in Mathematical Sciences is
funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations through the Collaboration And
Structural Reform Fund (CASR).
This year, two advanced courses are being offered on the theme
of Global Optimization: theory and
applications. These courses will run for two weeks from 26 June to 8
July 2011.
These courses are aimed at postgraduate students and
researchers in mathematics and related disciplines and will be presented
by distinguished researchers.
Moments, Positive Polynomials and Their Applications will be
presented by Dr Jean Lasserre from The French National Centre for Scientific
Research.
Competitive Markov Decision Processes will be presented by Prof Jerzy Filar from the
University of South Australia.
Participants
are required to attend both courses.
In addition to these courses, participants will have the
opportunity to present their own research during the Graduate Theme
Program. Each participant will present a seminar of 20 minutes on a topic
related to their research.
