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 ...

Supply chains consist of imperfect humans struggling to make perfect decisions. In the end, though, it all comes down to a game of numbers. That, at least, is the theory behind mathematical ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

A thorough understanding of Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus, and strong familiarity with the Python programming language (e.g., basic data manipulation libraries, how to construct functions and ...

Traffic modeling has been of interest to mathematicians since the 1950s. Research in the area has only grown as road traffic control presents an ever-increasing problem. In a new paper, authors ...

Commuters are already seeing a reduction in delays and waiting times thanks to new software able to adapt railway schedules in real time following unforeseen disruptions. The software is based on ...

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 ...
