Optimal control problems, which form a central pillar in applied mathematics and engineering, involve determining control strategies that steer physical, economic or biological systems to achieve a ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

Bicycle sharing systems have become an attractive option to alleviate traffic in congested cities. However, rebalancing the number of bikes at each port as time passes is essential, and finding the ...

We had our first taste of the problem with mean-variance optimization at a hedge fund some years back. We loaded the positions into an optimizer, pressed the button, and discovered 25% of the ...

There are, generally speaking, two types of people in the mathematical optimization software field: • Optimization solver developers: The technical experts who devise and implement the algorithms that ...

We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...
