"A filter algorithm for nonlinear semidefinite programming"
Dr. Walter Bofill (Chile)
In this work a filter method for solving nonlinear semidefinite programming problems (NLSDP) is proposed. The method extends to this setting (NLSDP) the filter sequential quadratic programming algorithm. This filter approach was recently introduced for the case of nonlinear programming (NLP). The main result is a proof for the global convergence of the algorithm. Moreover we discuss our numerical experiences using some problems from the publicly available benchmark collection COMPleib.

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
