Call for Nominations: Paul Y. Tseng Memorial Lectureship 2021
The Mathematical Optimization Society invites nominations for the Paul Y. Tseng Memorial Lectureship
in Continuous Optimization. This prize was established in 2011 and will be presented for the fourth
time at the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming 2021. The lectureship was established
on the initiative of family and friends of Professor Tseng, with financial contributions to the
endowment also from universities and companies in the Asia-Pacific region. The purposes of the
lectureship are to commemorate the outstanding contributions of Professor Tseng in continuous
optimization and to promote the research and applications of continuous optimization in the
Asia-Pacific region.
The lectureship is awarded to an individual for outstanding contributions in the area of continuous
optimization, consisting of original theoretical results, innovative applications, or successful
software development. The primary consideration in the selection process is the quality and impact
