Geometric problems which are inherently quantitative occur in various aspects of theoretical computer science, including
a) Algorithmic tasks for geometric questions such as clustering and proximity data structures.
b) Geometric methods in the design of approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems, including the analysis of semidefinite programs and embedding methods.
c) Geometric questions arising from computational complexity, particularly in hardness of approximation. These include isoperimetric and Fourier analytic problems. These include isoperimetric and Fourier analytic problems.
This workshops aims to present recent progress in these directions.
