Mathematical optimization offers today’s businesses a fundamentally different approach to worst-case scenario prepping. Rather than relying on gut instinct and static data, optimization leverages ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? Outside of the theory itself being devis ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a class of optimization problems with time-varying cost functions by proposing a fully distributed prescribed-time algorithm. The algorithm decomposes the overall ...

Rail cars are long-term assets that play a critical role in the transportation of goods across the country. However, their substantial initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs can make ...

As companies increasingly migrate workloads to the cloud, managing associated costs has become a critical factor. Research indicates that approximately one-third of public cloud spending produces no ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider a more general bi-level optimization problem, where the inner objective function is consisted of three convex functions, involving a smooth and two non-smooth ...
