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 ...

Edward Rothberg is CEO and Co-Founder of Gurobi Optimization, which produces one of the world’s fastest mathematical optimization solvers. It’s easy to see why many machine learning capabilities—from ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Great progress has been made in the past few years in our understanding of nonconvex optimizations. In this talk, I will share with you three of our works in this direction. In one, we study low-rank ...
