Polynomial Optimization and its Applications       The importance of polynomial (aka semi-algebraic) optimization is highlighted by the large number of its interactions       with different research domains of mathematical sciences. These include, but are not limited to, automatic control,       combinatorics, and quantum information. The mini-symposium will focus on the development of methods and algorithms       dedicated to the general polynomial optimization problem. Both the theoretical and more applicative viewpoints will be covered.
