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 ...

This paper discusses techniques for solving discrete optimization problems using quantum annealing. Practical issues likely to affect the computation include precision limitations, finite temperature, ...

OptiMods provides data-driven APIs for specific optimization problems. “Many people have real-life business problems that can be solved with mathematical optimization, and they don’t even realize it.

where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...

Methods for NP-hard discrete optimization problems, including general methods like branch-and-bound and cutting planes, as well as special purpose branch-and-cut methods. Students will be able to ...

The Centre for Operations Research and Decision Sciences (CORDS) is located at Simon Fraser University. With faculty members from Business, Computing Science, Mathematics, SIAT and Statistics, the ...
