What do the following—planning an airline hub, political gerrymandering, and a museum renovation—have in common? They’re all problems that can be tackled by mathematicians using a process called ...

In Part 1 of this series on optimization and recovery, we considered two limitations of optimization processes and the light they shed on pseudo-recovery. Let’s now think more about what the ...

Dr. Hearn give an overview of his program – Optimization and Discrete Mathematics at the AFOSR (Air Force) Spring Review 2012. – Describes the value of the travelling salesman problem and how they can ...

Introduction to the theory of convex sets and functions and to the extremum problems in areas of mathematics where convexity plays a role. Your Final Grade in the ...

Research and investment in artificial intelligence (AI) have rapidly expanded over the past decade. The International Data Corporation predicts that global spending on cognitive and AI systems will ...

The following sample plan of study fulfills the M.S. degree in Computer Science concentrating in Computational Operations Research with an empahsis on optimization and analytics. There are a variety ...

Logistical chaos is not a new phenomenon in the supply-chain world, but the scale of upheaval caused by COVID-19 is something that stakeholders have never seen before: 94% of Fortune 1000 companies ...

We consider the problem of finding local minimizers in nonconvex and non-smooth optimization. The objective function we consider is in the form of the sum of a nonconvex function and a l1-penalty.

In Part 1 of this series on optimization and recovery, we considered two limitations of optimization processes and the light they shed on pseudo-recovery. Let’s now think more about what the ...
