OPTIMA addresses industry’s urgent need for decision-making tools for global competitiveness: reducing lead times, and financial and environmental costs, while improving efficiency, quality, and agility. Despite strong expertise in academia, industry is yet to fully benefit from optimisation technology due to its high barrier to entry. Connecting industry partners with world-leading interdisciplinary researchers and talented students, OPTIMA will advance an industry-ready optimisation toolkit, while training a new generation of industry practitioners and over 120 young researchers, vanguarding a highly skilled workforce of change agents for transformation of the advanced manufacturing, energy resources, and critical infrastructure sectors.Read moreRead less
Structured barrier and penalty functions in infinite dimensional optimisation and analysis. Very large scale tightly-constrained optimisation problems are ubiquitous and include water management, traffic flow, and imaging at telescopes and hospitals. Massively parallel computers can solve such problems and provide physically realisable solution only if subtle design issues are mastered. Resolving such issues is the goal of this project.

Geometry and Conditioning in Structured Conic Problems. Conic programming allows one to model and solve large industrial problems via modern optimisation methods, such as interior-point algorithms. These methods are efficient and reliable in solving a vast number of problems, however, they fail on a relatively small but significant set of ill-posed instances, thus affecting the overall reliability of the technique. The reason for such behaviour is profound and constitutes one of the major unsolv ....Geometry and Conditioning in Structured Conic Problems. Conic programming allows one to model and solve large industrial problems via modern optimisation methods, such as interior-point algorithms. These methods are efficient and reliable in solving a vast number of problems, however, they fail on a relatively small but significant set of ill-posed instances, thus affecting the overall reliability of the technique. The reason for such behaviour is profound and constitutes one of the major unsolved problems in real complexity: there is no known algorithm that solves conic problems with real data in polynomial time. The project aims to develop a deep understanding of the geometry of conic problems, aiming for the resolution of this fundamental problem in computational theory.Read moreRead less
