Implementation of numerical optimization algorithms in MATLAB, including derivative-free and gradient-based methods for unconstrained problems, and projection techniques for constrained optimization.

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 ...

For most of its history, SEO has been a reactive discipline, being asked to “make it rank” once a site is built, with little input into the process. Even crazier, most SEO professionals are assigned a ...

Introduction: The increasing emphasis on sustainable finance policies has necessitated the development of advanced mathematical models to optimize bank investment portfolios and debt structures. While ...
