Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

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 ...

Facility location and optimization problems have long been a central focus in operations research and applied mathematics, addressing the challenge of strategically placing facilities to serve a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
