Research Interests
PhD/MPhil Students:
Very Large-Scale NonLinear Optimization
Read about the
Matrix-Free IPM (Oct 2009).
Survey on IPMs:
IPMs 25 Years Later (Feb 2011).
Software development:
Parallel Large-Scale Optimization with IPMs:
24 students attended the Operational Research MSc programme in 2002/2003.
Teaching in 2012/2013:
Address and phone numbers
Together with Andreas Grothey we solved (May 2005) a large financial
planning problem, a quadratic program with 353 million rows and 1010
million columns.
Linear, Quadratic & Convex Nonlinear Optimization with IPMs:
(Higher Order Primal-Dual Method)
is an efficient implementation of the multiple centrality correctors
variant of the primal-dual method for large scale linear and convex
quadratic optimization.
HOPDM compares favourably with commercial LP/QP packages. Its earlier
version is available for research use. The code has recently been
extended to solve smooth convex nonlinear optimization problems.
(Object-Oriented Parallel structure exploiting
interior point Solver) is a new generation of software for optimization
of unequalled computing power.
