The formulation and
resolution of problems of production planning and
scheduling,
distribution, design of networks, and facility location by combinatorial
optimisation and mixed integer programming.
The development of
software for mixed integer programming, as well as
software for certain problems arising in production planning
and network design.
Decomposition
algorithms, analysis of heuristic algorithms , the application
of polyhedral combinatorics to differing structured
problems, parallel algorithms.
