The Weber problem consists of finding a point in $\mathbbm{R}^n$ that minimizes the weighted sum of distances from $m$ points in $\mathbbm{R}^n$ that are not collinear. An application that motivated this problem is the optimal location of…

In the Upper Degree-Constrained Partial Orientation problem we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, together with two degree constraint functions $d^-,d^+ : V \to \mathbb{N}$. The goal is to orient as many edges as possible, in such a…

This paper consists of four general parts: convex sets; convex functions; convex optimization; and the interior-point algorithm. I will start by introducing the definition of convex sets and give three common convex set examples which will…
Bundle methods have been intensively studied for solving both convex and nonconvex optimization problems. In most of the bundle methods developed thus far, at least one quadratic programming (QP) subproblem needs to be solved in each…
Nonconvex optimization problems with an L1-constraint are ubiquitous, and are found in many application domains including: optimal control of hybrid systems, machine learning and statistics, and operations research. This paper shows that…
Local solutions for variational and quasi-variational inequalities are usually the best type of solutions that could practically be obtained when in case of lack of convexity or else when available numerical techniques are too limited for…
We describe general heuristics to approximately solve a wide variety of problems with convex objective and decision variables from a nonconvex set. The heuristics, which employ convex relaxations, convex restrictions, local neighbor search…
A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…
We consider joint optimization and learning problems arising in real-time decision systems. While most existing work focuses primarily on convex, revenue-based objectives, we extend this line of research to multi-objective formulations. In…
Optimization models with non-convex constraints arise in many tasks in machine learning, e.g., learning with fairness constraints or Neyman-Pearson classification with non-convex loss. Although many efficient methods have been developed…
In this work, we consider a class of convex optimization problems in a real Hilbert space that can be solved by performing a single projection, i.e., by projecting an infeasible point onto the feasible set. Our results improve those…
