The Global Optimization Laboratory is organizing two international scientific events that are taking place this summer. AIRO, the Italian Operations Research Society, entrusted the organization of the 2022 edition of the International Conference on Optimization and Decision Science (ODS) to
Algorithms for Sparse Optimization
The sparsity of solutions is a recurrent requirement in many applications of operations research. Many variables can be forced to be equal to zero by introducing l0-norm or l1-norm terms into optimization models. In this thesis we would like to
Memetic Algorithms for Standard Quadratic Programming Problems
Standard Quadratic Optimization problems are an important family of problems with a large number of applications in finance, decision science, graphs algorithms, etc.For these nonconvex problems, we are interested in finding global optima; however, exact global optimization algorithms hardly scale
