Addressing the importance of the algorithm design process, Deterministic Operations Research focuses on the design of solution methods for both continuous and discrete linear optimization problems.

We give a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving linear programs (LPs) with continuous separable piecewise-linear cost functions (PLFs). Models for PLFs use continuous variables in special-ordered sets ...

Course Description This course discusses basic convex analysis (convex sets, functions, and optimization problems), optimization theory (linear, quadratic, semidefinite, and geometric programming; ...
