On behalf of the National Center of Theoretical Sciences, the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and a group of his former students from the Michigan State University, we would like to invite you to join us for a symposium honoring our beloved teacher, friend, and colleague, Dr. Tien-Yien Li, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
The symposium is to take place at the Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, T.Y.'s alma mater, from May 10 to May 12, 2005. For many reasons, we want to make this a cherished once-in-a-life event. The celebration therefore will feature prominent speakers to talk about the subjects in which T.Y. has had interest throughout his professional career, some contributed papers from his colleagues and students, a fabulous reception and banquet dinner, and a one-day excursion to the renowned Palace Museum and some scenic areas in Taiwan.
Plenary Speakers and Proposed Talks: Felipe Cucker Counting solutions of polynomial systems and complexity of the Euler characteristics Herb Keller Periodic Orbits and Mission Design Calculations Masakazu Kojima Sums of squares relaxation of polynomial optimization problems Timothy Sauer Sensitivity of natural measure calculation Mike Shub Linear programming, danamical systems and integral geometry Andrew Sommese Adaptive multiprecision endgame Hans Stetter The challenges of numerical polynomial algebra Jan Verschelde Computing isolated singular solutions of polynomial systems using Newton's method with deflation James Yorke (TBA) Zhonggang Zeng Numerical Computation of the Jordan Canonical Form
Registration is free but required. Deadline for registration is April 1, 2005.
