Recently, Tom Luo, Jong-Shi Pang, Yinyu Ye and Shuzhong Zhang proposed to the MOS (the Mathematical Optimization Society) and the Chinese Mathematical Programming Society to establish the Tseng Lectureship in Continuous Optimization. This will be a continued effort to commemorate the contributions of Paul Tseng to the field of optimization, in addition to the special workshop.
