Economic Theory, Vol. 40, No. 3 (Sep., 2009), pp. 457-471 (15 pages) This paper examines a model of optimal growth where the aggregation of two separate well behaved and concave production ...

Great progress has been made in the past few years in our understanding of nonconvex optimizations. In this talk, I will share with you three of our works in this direction. In one, we study low-rank ...

Registration is open for faculty to attend the Westwood Lecture Series, which will now take place on a new date Dec. 4. This event was originally scheduled for Dec. 5. Mohit Tawarmalani, the executive ...

This course discusses basic convex analysis (convex sets, functions, and optimization problems), optimization theory (linear, quadratic, semidefinite, and geometric programming; optimality conditions ...

A common technical challenge encountered in many operations management models is that decision variables are truncated by some random variables and the decisions are made before the values of these ...

The goal of this course is to investigate in-depth and to develop expert knowledge in the theory and algorithms for convex optimization. This course will provide a rigorous introduction to the rich ...
