We had our first taste of the problem with mean-variance optimization at a hedge fund some years back. We loaded the positions into an optimizer, pressed the button, and discovered 25% of the ...

A new technical paper, “Quantifying the Global Impact of Constraint Programming Based Local Scheduling in Semiconductor Manufacturing,” was published by Infineon and the University of Klagenfurt.

(Phys.org)—Researchers have designed and implemented an algorithm that solves computing problems using a strategy inspired by the way that an amoeba branches out to obtain resources. The new algorithm ...

where \(\mathsf{G}(\cdot)\) is some convex operator and \(\mathcal{F}\) is as set of feasible input distributions. Examples of such an optimization problem include finding capacity in information ...

In space engineering, electronic component layout has a very important impact on the centroid stability and heat dissipation of devices. However, the diversity of components, a variety of spatial ...

Electromagnetic (EM) wave front modulation has important significance in both scientific researches and industrial applications. However, conventional dielectric materials have limited choices of ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
