ORIE Colloquium, 2014-10-21 - James Renegar: Efficient First-Order Methods for Linear (and Semidefinite) Programming

The study of first-order methods has largely dominated research in continuous optimization for the last decade, yet still the range of problems for which optimal first-order methods have been…
