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 ...

Modeling and Solving Combinatorial Optimization Problems Using the QUBO Model A surprising development of the last few years has been the emergence of a model, called QUBO (for Quadratic Unconstrained ...

Physicists are now using principles from quantum mechanics to build a new model of the abstract concept of pi. Or, more ...

Sequential optimality conditions for constrained optimization are necessarily satisfied by local minimizers, independently of the fulfillment of constraint qualifications. These conditions support the ...
