Algorithms that zero in on solutions to optimization problems are the beating heart of machine reasoning. New results reveal surprising limits. Our lives are a succession of optimization problems.

A self-learning closed loop optimizer was applied on five wells in an unconventional oil and gas pad in Delaware basin. The optimizer requires neither a process model nor plant-disturbance testing for ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...
