Der vierte internationale Workshop über Mathematische Optimierung und Datenanalyse wurde vom Institut für Statistische Mathematik (ISM), dem Zuse-Institut Berlin (ZIB) und dem Institut für Industriemathematik (IMI) der Kyushu-Universität durchgeführt. Unter dem Vorsitz von Satoshi Ito, Thorsten Koch und Yuji Shinano fand die Tagung vom 25. bis 27. März in den Räumen des ISM in Tachikawa, Tokio, in Verbindung mit dem jährlichen kooperativen Forschungstreffen zum Thema “Optimierung: Modellierung und Algorithmen” statt. Internationale Experten aus Wissenschaft und Industrie tauschten ihre Ideen im...Read More
Isabel Beckenbach successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis on “Matchings and Flows in Hypergraphs”. Isabel is a member of the Mathematics of Transportation and Logistics Group and working in the RailLab@Research Campus MODAL on the optimization of railway vehicle rotations for the ICE high speed trains of Deutsche Bahn. Hypergraph models are convenient to deal with constraints on train composition and regularity. An algorithmic hypergraph theory is therefore needed in order to compute trip assignments and vehicle flows through large networks....Read More
This year’s status seminar of the BMBF Mathematics Program took place on 19 and 20 November at the Maritim Hotel in Bonn. Twenty-one projects in the two funding lines “Healthy Living” and “Energy Turnaround” presented their results. This year, the focus was on the application perspective. The collaborative research initiative IBOSS (Information Based Optimization of Surgery Schedules) was presented by Dr. Joachim Gerst of the Charité hospital. His lecture described the practice of surgical planning, the challenges that arise there,...Read More
