Optimization & Modeling

Researchers are exploring practical methods for handling complex nonlinear constraints in optimization by employing piecewise linear approximations, allowing these challenging models to be managed effectively using established linear programming or mixed-integer programming solvers like Gurobi. This technique provides a computational bridge for real-world systems that defy simple convex formulations, advancing the deployability of sophisticated scheduling and resource allocation algorithms.
