Optimal control problems, which form a central pillar in applied mathematics and engineering, involve determining control strategies that steer physical, economic or biological systems to achieve a ...

Toshiba has overcome this challenge by developing a third‑generation simulated bifurcation (SB) algorithm. This ground-breaking advance builds on the original SB algorithm, announced in April 2019 *1, ...

We had our first taste of the problem with mean-variance optimization at a hedge fund some years back. We loaded the positions into an optimizer, pressed the button, and discovered 25% of the ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...

There are, generally speaking, two types of people in the mathematical optimization software field: • Optimization solver developers: The technical experts who devise and implement the algorithms that ...

Bicycle sharing systems have become an attractive option to alleviate traffic in congested cities. However, rebalancing the number of bikes at each port as time passes is essential, and finding the ...

We were visiting a hedge fund some years back when we had our first taste of the problem with mean-variance optimization—the tool advisors use to balance risk and reward in client portfolios. We ...

Quip Network's creators say it's optimized for mining by quantum computers—a positive, unlike the looming quantum threat to ...
