Werner Fenchel

Moritz Werner Fenchel (German: [ˈfɛnçəl]; 3 May 1905 – 24 January 1988) was a mathematician known for his contributions to geometry and to optimization theory. Fenchel established the basic results of convex analysis and nonlinear optimization theory which would, in time, serve as the foundation for nonlinear programming. A German-born Jew and early refugee from Nazi suppression of intellectuals, Fenchel lived most of his life in Denmark. Fenchel's monographs and lecture notes are considered influential. (Wikipedia).

Vahab Mirrokni: Coordination Mechanisms and Price of Anarchy via Fenchel Duality

We develop a new framework based on LP and Fenchel duality for bounding the robust price of anarchy for a large class of games. We use our framework to give the first PoA bounds for temporal routing games on graphs and energy minimization games in machine scheduling. Most notably, we prese

Kazuo Murota: Extensions and Ramifications of Discrete Convexity Concepts

Submodular functions are widely recognized as a discrete analogue of convex functions. This convexity view of submodularity was established in the early 1980's by the fundamental works of A. Frank, S. Fujishige and L. Lovasz. Discrete convex analysis extends this view to broader classes of
