Project Description

The overall objective of this research is to advance the theory, algorithms and applications of High Performance Optimization algorithms in order to solve large-scale problems arising in engineering applications. To accomplish these objectives the project will focus on IPMs, SDO, FAAs, and their applications to VLSI, power market management, data mining, and digital communications. Through fundamental theory, algorithm development, and modelling of engineering problems we are determined to pursue our research towards the development of highly efficient software tools not only for our own benefit, but for the benefit of the entire optimization community.
