We introduce a novel approach addressing global analysis of a difficult class of nonconvex-nonsmooth optimization problems within the important framework of Lagrangian-based methods. This genuine ...

A simple extension of the Lagrange optimization method is valuable in allocating defense resources among a large number of independent defense locations. This kind of allocation problem is complicated ...

It is a Lagrangian relaxation heuristic that can be very effective in quickly producing feasible solutions to large-scale, complex MIP problems.” ...

One course in optimization (including primal, dual problems, Lagrangian functions), linear algebra, calculus, familiar with real analysis or permission of instructor. Large-scale networks and datasets ...
