This Monday, a student workshop in cooperation with the IFAS (Institut für Flugantriebe und Strömungsmaschinen) took place on the Automotive Research Centre Niedersachsen. We welcomed 25 students aged from 10 to 16 years.
Our paper P. Mutzel, T. Niemann, L. Schürmann, S. Stiller, A. M. Tillmann: "Vehicle Routing with Heterogeneous Time Windows" will appear in Operations Research Proceedings 2022.
A new Special Issue on the Interplay of Discrete Optimization and Machine Learning in the journal "Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics", edited by A. M. Tillmann, E. Khalil, G. Munoz and S. Pokutta, is now welcoming submissions. For more information and to participate, visit the research topic website.
In the past week, ten employees of the Institute for Mathematical Optimization as well as the Institute of Analysis and Algebra got together for a retreat in a conference hotel in Bilm near Hanover.
Felix Bestehorn successfully defended his doctoral thesis "Combinatorial algorithms and complexity of rounding problems arising in Mixed-Integer Optimal Control". Congratulations!
