Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for binary classification using Manski’s (1975,1985) maximum score ...

To employ linear programming in production-planning problems in the chemical industry it is often necessary to make a linear model of plant which seems highly non-linear. An approach with some ...

Successive Linear Programming (SLP) has been used extensively in the refining and petrochemical industries for over 20 years. This paper concentrates on some recent work at Exxon to unify the ...
