Title: Moment generating functions for polyhedra and inverse moment problems Speaker: Dmitrii Pasechnik, NTU Time/Date: Friday, Nov 4, 11:00am - 12:00pm Location: Room 3530 Abstract: we introduce a multivariate generating function for moments of a "nice" measure on a polytope, which is a rational generating function. It allows for efficient recovery of the polytope (and the measure) from moments. We discuss the latter algorithms in some detail.
