Title: Flow intercepting facility location routing problem: formulation
and branch-and-cut solving approach
Abstract: In the last ten years the research activity on
location-routing problem (LRP) has significantly increased and many
effective exact and approximated approaches have been presented for its
solution. Following from this, great attention has been also devoted to
several variants of the LRP, most of them coming from real applications.
In particular, with reference to the city logistic (CL) context, several
variants of the LRP have been proposed to design single-tier and
two-tier freight distribution systems. In this case, LRP location
decisions concern the number and position of one or more types of
logistic facilities, whereas, routing decisions, concern the definition
of dedicated or multi-stop routes of homogeneous or heterogeneous
vehicle fleets.
However most of the present literature deals with single-commodity LRP,
whereas the multi-commodity case is still scarcely investigated. This
issue can assume an important role in LRP real applications and in
particular in the CL context. Indeed the freight to be distributed in an
urban area are highly heterogeneous and consequently the problem is
inherently multi-commodity.
In order to contribute to fill this gap, an original formulation for the
multi-commodity LRP is presented. The problem is referred to as the flow
intercepting facility location-routing problem (FIFLOR), since its
formulation is obtained merging the flow intercepting facility location
and the vehicle routing models. A branch-and-cut algorithm for its
solution is described and results obtained on test instances reproducing
different urban network topologies are discussed.

Cari tutti,
in occasione della partenza di Raf Vandebril e come scusa per stare un po'
insieme, si pensava di fare una cena giovedì sera alla trattoria di
Montemagno [1]. Chi ha piacere di partecipare è ben accetto. Dovreste però
comunicarmi chi viene e se ha un mezzo a disposizione, così prenoto e ci
organizziamo per raggiungere il posto.
A presto e buona giornata,
Stefano

Title: A framework for structured linearizations of matrix polynomials
in various bases
Abstract: We present a framework for the construction of linearizations
for scalar and matrix polynomials based on dual bases which, in the case
of orthogonal polynomials, can be described by the associated recurrence
relations. The framework provides an extension of the classical
linearization theory for polynomials expressed in non-monomial bases and
allows to represent polynomials expressed in product families, that is,
as a linear combination of elements of the form $\phi_i(x) \psi_j(x)$,
where $\{ \phi_i(x) \}$ and $\{ \psi_j(x) \}$ can either be polynomial
bases or polynomial families which satisfy some mild assumptions.
We show that this general construction can be used for many different
purposes. Among them, we show how to linearize sums of polynomials and
rational functions expressed in different bases. As an example, this
allows to look for intersections of functions interpolated on different
nodes without converting them to the same basis.

Title: The Infinity Computer and numerical
computations with infinities and in infinitesimals
Abstract:
The lecture presents a recent methodology allowing one to execute
numerical computations with finite, infinite, and infinitesimal numbers
on a new type of a computer – the Infinity Computer – patented in EU,
USA, and Russia (see [23]). The new approach is based on the principle
‘The whole is greater than the part’ (Euclid’s Common Notion 5) that is
applied to all numbers (finite, infinite, and infinitesimal) and to all
sets and processes (finite and infinite). It is shown that it becomes
possible to write down finite, infinite, and infinitesimal numbers by a
finite number of symbols as particular cases of a unique framework
different from that of the non-standard analysis [...]

Title: Lipschitz global optimization
Abstract: Global optimization is a thriving branch of applied
mathematics and an extensive literature is dedicated to it (see e.g.,
[1–24]). In this lecture, the global optimization problem of a
multidimensional function satisfying the Lipschitz condition over a
hyperinterval with an unknown Lipschitz constant is considered. It is
supposed that the objective function can be “black box”, multiextremal,
and non-differentiable. It is also assumed that evaluation of the
objective function at a point is a time-consuming operation. Many
algorithms for solving this problem have been discussed in literature.
They can be distinguished, for example, by the way of obtaining
information about the Lipschitz constant and by the strategy of
exploration of the search domain. Different exploration techniques based
on various adaptive partition strategies are analyzed. [...]

Title: Minimization algorithms for compressive sensing
Abstract: Compressive sensing is a new approach to digital signals
acquisition and processing. Its main aim is the reconstruction of sparse
signals or images (i.e. with few significant coefficients) from what was
previously believed to be incomplete information. Compressive sensing
has many potential applications, not only limited to the analysis of
signals or images.
In this talk we will first describe the main theoretical properties of
compressive sensing, then three solution algorithms based on \ell_1
minimization will be presented, along with numerical experiments to
highlight the main characteristics of these three methods in the
framework of compressive sensing.

Title: Stability by set convergences: from Vector to Set optimization
Abstract: (pdf)
http://pages.di.unipi.it/fpoloni/files/seminari/Miglierina.pdf
The notions of set convergences reveal to be very useful to study
stability properties in vector optimization. Indeed, some results that
show how the convergence of feasible region implies the convergence of
efficient frontiers are known. The oldest ones are based on suitable
compactness assumptions that concern the sequence of sets as a whole(see
\cite{Attouch-Rihai,Bednarczuk2007,Luc-Lucchetti-Malivert,LoridanMorganRaucci,Penot-Sterna}).
Moreover, more recently, some results about convergence of efficient
frontiers have been obtained by replacing compactness by convexity
(\cite{Lucchetti-Miglierina2004Opt,MM2005}). After a presentation of
these results, the last aim of the talk is to extend this class of
results to the broader framework of set optimization, that recently
received an increasing attention in the literature
(\cite{Gutierrez-Miglierina-Molho-Novo}).
