This project aims at popularizing the usage of numerical methods, and in particular, linear programming techniques, for solving various types of information- and incentive-constrained problems in ...

Using an illustration drawn from the area of inventory control, this paper demonstrates how a typical sequential probabilistic model may be formulated in terms of (a) an initial decision rule and (b) ...

In the last decade, American Airlines has slashed by two-thirds the penalty payments it must make to flight crews when scheduling snags leave employees sitting in airports, wasting time. Many factors ...

The feasibility pump is a well-established primal heuristic for mixed integer programming (MIP) that alternates between solving a linear programming (LP) relaxation of the original problem and ...

Aid and development organizations tackle a broad range of complex problems in demanding operating environments. However, the standard tools and processes we use are ill-suited to the task we face. The ...
