Seminar Title: Heuristics for Integer Nonlinear Optimization
Speaker: Kumar Abhishek, Lehigh, MCS
Date/Time: 2007-08-08 15:00
Location: Building 221, A-261
Description:
Mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) are a class of NP-hard optimization problems with a wide range of applications in science and industry. We motivate and present a new heuristic for finding feasible points rapidly, and show that its inclusion in a standard MINLP solver reduces the solution time significantly.
