The 2013 seminar took place at Forum Marinum, Turku on November 15th.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Prof. Liberti held the following two keynote presentations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Symmetry in mathematical programming<\/li>\n<li>Distance constraints in Euclidean geometry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the first presentation, a class of symmetry breaking methods based on reformulation techniques were illustrated. These may be used as an efficient presolving step of branch-and-bound based methods. In the second presentation, the topic was a significant problem in distance geometry connected to graph theory, with applications in protein conformation, wireless sensor network design and robotic control.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Liberti has published more than 150 papers on mathematical programming, global and combinatorial optimization, distance geometry, bioinformatics, and industrial systems applications. He is also the author and editor of several books in optimization including \u201cDistance Geometry: Theory, Methods and Applications\u201d coedited with A. Mucherino, C. Lavor and N. Maculan, Springer New York, 2013, and \u201cGlobal Optimization: from Theory to\u00a0Implementation\u201d coedited with N.
