Mathematical programming and discrete optimization for complex decision-making problems
Mathematical programming, discrete optimization, decision-making problems, cutting & packing problems, manufacturing
Mathematical programming and discrete optimization are transversal topics that lie between operations research, computer science, applied mathematics and engineering, and focus on methodological and algorithmic aspects of complex decision problems, also arising from real applications in manufacturing and logistics settings.
In the attempt to combine the methodological accuracy with the complexity of real cases, decision problems are mainly modeled by integer linear programming and solved by algorithms based on a variety of mathematical techniques ranging from integer to polyhedral decomposition, from dynamic column generation to cutting planes, from strategies for variable fixing to dual bound tightening, from branching rule design to symmetry handling
