Interior-Point Algorithms for Optimization Problems with Many Constraints

Professor AndréTits (ECE/ISR) is the co-principal investigator for a new Department of Energy (DoE) grant, “Interior-Point Algorithms for Optimization Problems with Many Constraints.” The Principal Investigator for this grant is Professor Dianne O’Leary (CS/UMIACS). The three-year, $303,701 grant continues the research of an earlier grant in the same area. The researchers will develop, analyze, and test algorithms for the solution of optimization problems with a very large number of inequality constraints, specifically, many more inequality constraints than variables.
