“INFORMS Journal of Computing”, one of the most prestigious journals for the publication of research articles in the field of mathematical optimization, regularly honors outstanding publications with the “Meritorious Paper Award”. Recently, two ZIB researchers, Dr. Timo Berthold and Mr. Jakob Witzig, had the honor to receive this award. The award-winning article describes how to transfer a technique called “conflict analysis” from linear optimization to non-linear optimization. The results are implemented in the non-linear optimization solver SCIP developed at the...Read More
The “Mixed Integer Programming Workshop” is an annual event that features recent contributions in the field of MIP. Every year, a comitee honors the best contribution to the poster session with a best poster award. The work presented by Leon Eifler integrates important techniques such as presolving, primal heuristics, and certification of results into the existing state of the art exact MIP solver SCIP. The computational study shows that this helps in closing a significant part of the gap between...Read More
Honorary award for the former president of ZIB Martin Grötschel receives the Cantor Medal of the German Mathematicians’ Association (DMV) for 2021, as decided recently by the DMV’s executive committee in Berlin. The Cantor Medal is the most important scientific award of the DMV. It is usually awarded every two years. Martin Grötschel steered the development of ZIB for decades, since 1992 as Vice President and from 2012 to 2015 as President. His main research areas include Mathematical Optimization, Discrete...Read More
