Motivation for Research: Large combinatorial optimization problems involve an exponentially growing decision space, where finding a good solution often becomes extremely difficult using traditional ...

The problem of selecting processes and capacity expansion policies for a chemical complex consisting of continuous chemical processses can be formulated as a multiperiod, mixed integer linear ...

Jeroslow and Lowe gave an exact geometric characterization of subsets of ℝ𝑛 that are projections of mixed-integer linear sets, also known as MILP-representable or MILP-R sets. We give an alternate ...

Researchers have developed a new, data-driven machine-learning technique that speeds up software programs used to solve complex optimization problems that can have millions of potential solutions.
