Project Title: Gibbs manifolds and semidefinite programmingDoctoral Candidate: Francesco Maria MascarinAdvisors: B. Sturmfels (MPG), S. Telen (MPG), M. Laurent (NWO-I), Mentor: Georgios Korpas (HSBC) Objectives: Interior point methods for linear programming use regularization to reduce the problem to smooth convex optimisation on a polytope. A popular choice for the regularization…
Project Title: Tensor decompositions for sums of even powers of real polynomialsDoctoral Candidate: Matteo BechereAdvisors: S. Kuhlmann (UKON), B. Mourrain (Inria) Mentor: C. Riener (UiT) Objectives: The Archimedean Positivstellensatz for quadratic modules in the multivariate real polynomial ring, coupled with Lasserre’s moment–SOS method, have found important applications in polynomial optimization.…
Project Title: Tropicalization of moment relaxations for tensor decompositionsDoctoral Candidate: Sami HalasehAdvisors: M. Skomra (CNRS), S. Kuhlmann (UKON), Mentor: M. Gabay (Artelys) Objectives: The problem of computing tensor decompositions by moment relaxations and weighted sums of squares (SOS) has been extensively studied in the last decade. At the same time,…
Project Title: Low-rank approximation for tensor modelingDoctoral Candidate: Mattia MatucciAdvisors: A. Mantzaflaris (Inria), C. Giannelli (UniFI) Mentor: Michael Gabay (Artelys) Objectives: This project aims at low-rank representations of numerical solutions of high-dimensional partial differential operators, for use in modeling and optimization. In particular we aim at accelerating isogeometric discretizations that…
Project Title: Geometry of extensor varieties Doctoral Candidate: Enrica BarrilliAdvisors: B. Mourrain (Inria), A. Bernardi (UniTN) Mentor: F. Lucca (BlueTensor) Objectives: Decomposition of tensors is an important challenge in scientific computing, with applications in many domains including data analysis, statistics, engineering, quantum information, physics, chemistry. The goal of the project…
