[Opt-Net] Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization

[Leyffer, Sven]

The Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization will be awarded jointly by 
SIAM and the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS) at the 2021 SIAM 
Annual Meeting. We are now accepting nominations, see 
https://evoq-eval.siam.org/prizes-recognition/joint-prizes/detail/lagrange-prize-in-continuous-optimization

The Lagrange Prize in Continuous Optimization is awarded ever three 
years for an outstanding contribution in the area of continuous 
optimization published in the six calendar years prior to the award 
year. The MOS administers the prize and it is awarded jointly by MOS and 
SIAM.

Eligibility Criteria:
The award is based primarily on the work's mathematical quality, 
significance, and originality. Clarity and excellence of the exposition 
and the value of the work in practical applications may be considered as 
secondary attributes. The extended period of six years reflects the fact 
that the value of fundamental work cannot always be immediately assessed.

The work must have been published as the final publication of the main 
result(s) within the six calendar years preceding the award year. The 
work should be published as an article in a peer-reviewed journal, or 
other peer-reviewed publication, intended to publish final papers only; 
or as a monograph publishing original results.

For the 2021 award, the work must have been published between the dates 
of January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2020.

Nomination Deadline: October 15, 2020

Selection Committee:
Sven Leyffer (Chair), Argonne National Laboratory
Xiaojun Chen, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Etienne de Klerk, University of Tilberg, The Netherlands
Philip Gill, University of California San Diego
