Title: Joint Inventory and Pricing for a One-Warehouse Multi-Store Problem: Spiraling Phenomena, Near Optimal Policies, and the Value of Dynamic Pricing. Abstract: We consider a joint inventory and pricing problem with one warehouse and multiple stores, in which the retailer needs to make a one-time decision on the amount of inventory to be placed at…

TITLE: Uniform Optimality for Convex and Nonconvex Optimization SPEAKER: Guanghui (George) Lan ABSTRACT: The past few years have witnessed growing interest in the development of easily implementable parameter-free first-order methods to facilitate their applications, e.g., in data science and machine learning. In this talk, I will discuss some recent progresses that we made on uniformly…

Title: A strongly polynomial algorithm for linear programs with at most two nonzero entries per row or column. Abstract: We give a strongly polynomial algorithm for minimum cost generalized flow, and hence all linear programs with at most two nonzero entries per row, or at most two nonzero entries per column. This provides a next…

Title:  A happy home coming after a fruitful “non”-journey Abstract: The home in the title refers to the origin of optimization, i.e., linear programming (LP) and its extensions to (convex) quadratic programming (QP) and the linear complementarity problem (LCP), the latter being the virgin focus of the speaker’s research career.   The “non”-journey refers to the…
