Optimal control problems and variational inequalities form a rich interdisciplinary area that bridges the disciplines of mathematical analysis, numerical methods and engineering applications. At its ...

昂贵优化问题(Expensive Optimization Problem，EOP)是指在评估待选解决方案时，需要付出昂贵甚至难以承担的成本的一类最优化问题。随着社会的不断进步，以及智慧城市、物联网、大数据时代等带来的新兴挑战，更高效地解决EOP问题正成为推动各领域繁荣发展的必要 ...

Optimal control problems and homogenization techniques have emerged as pivotal tools in analysing boundary value problems characterised by complex geometries and heterogeneous materials. In this ...

In this paper we consider a method of solving optimal stopping problems in discrete and continuous time based on their dual representation. A novel and generic simulation-based optimization algorithm ...

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 ...

Bicycle sharing systems have become an attractive option to alleviate traffic in congested cities. However, rebalancing the number of bikes at each port as time passes is essential, and finding the ...

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.

Quay crane efficiency is the key bottleneck for container port productivity. An important issue of container terminal optimization is the quay crane double-cycling problem (QCDCP). For the simple ...

Hyped as the solution to many problems – both hard and easy – quantum-enhanced optimization is a burgeoning research field. But with untrainable circuits, “barren plateaus” and deceptive local minimas ...
