These are math’s most famous open questions. Solve one, and you’ll win a $1-million prize—but it’s only happened once since ...

Abstract: Whereas interior point methods provide polynomial-time linear programming algorithms, the running time bounds depend on bit-complexity or condition measures that can be unbounded in the ...

HiGHS is a high performance serial and parallel solver for large scale sparse linear optimization problems of the form $$ \min \quad \dfrac{1}{2}x^TQx + c^Tx \qquad ...

SoPlex is an optimization package for solving linear programming problems (LPs) based on an advanced implementation of the primal and dual revised simplex algorithm. It provides special support for ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...
