TITLE: Cutting planes: A convex analysis perspective

SPEAKER: Dr. Gerard Cornuejols

ABSTRACT:

his talk will be based on joint work with Borozan, Basu,
Conforti and Zambelli. We extend a theorem of Lovasz characterizing
maximal lattice-free convex sets. This result has implications in integer
programming. In particular we show a ono-to-one correspondance between
these sets and minimal inequalities.
