• #### Infeasibility certificates for linear matrix inequalities ﻿

[OWP-2011-28] (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2011-05-25)
Farkas' lemma is a fundamental result from linear programming providing linear certi cates for infeasibility of systems of linear inequalities. In semidefinite programming, such linear certificates only exist for strongly ...

• #### 1416a - Mini-Workshop: Mathematical Physics meets Sparse Recovery ﻿

[OWR-2014-18] (2014) - (13 Apr - 19 Apr 2014)
In recent years, there have been several fruitful interchanges of methods between the fields of sparse and low-rank recovery on the one hand and quantum information theory on the other hand. One way to understand this ...

[OWR-2009-9] (2009) - (15 Feb - 21 Feb 2009)
Quantum dynamics, both reversible (i.e., closed quantum systems) and irreversible (i.e., open quantum systems), gives rise to product systems of Hilbert spaces or, more generally, of Hilbert modules. When we consider ...

[OWR-2018-19] (2018) - (15 Apr - 21 Apr 2018)
It is a deep open problem whether all expanders are superexpanders. In fact, it was already a major challenge to prove the mere existence of superexpanders. However, by now, some classes of examples are known: Lafforgue’s ...
