| As optimization researchers tackle larger and larger problems, scale interactions play an increasingly important role. One general strategy for dealing with a large or difficult problem is to partition it into smaller ones, which are hopefully much easier to solve, and then work backwards towards the solution of original problem, using a solution from a previous level as a starting guess at the next level. This conference brings together mathematicians, engineers, and scientists working on the latest techniques for solving difficult continuous and discrete optimization problem. Application areas include circuit board and micro-chip design,task assignment in parallel computing, dynamic simulations, and sparse matrix pivoting. |
