Abstract. This contribution is concerned with the formulation of a heterogeneous multiscale finite elements method (HMM) for solving linear advectiondiffusion problems with rapidly...
We present a class of inexact adaptive multilevel trust-region SQP-methods for the efficient solution of optimization problems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations...
Branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut use search trees to identify optimal solutions to combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we introduce an iterative search strategy...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
We consider the problem of minimizing staffing costs in an inbound call center, while maintaining an acceptable level of service in multiple time periods. The problem is complicat...
