Matrix game (LP for game theory)
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- aij are not defined in this section.
- References
- Please consider linking the references by using this as Wiki template, https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Quantum_computing_for_optimization
Quasi-Newton methods
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Please ensure that few spaces are kept between the equations and equation numbers.
- Step 6 of DFP algorithm should use the same variable M as in equation 1.14.
Markov decision process
- An introduction of the topic
- Please fix typos such as “discreet”.
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- If abbreviations are defined like MDP, use the abbreviations throughout the Wiki.
- References
- Please consider linking the references by using this as Wiki template, https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Quantum_computing_for_optimization
Eight step procedures
- At least one numerical example
- Please be consistent in the formatting of mathematical notations and equations.
- References
- Lecture notes may not be a credible reference. Please find the original source.
Facility location problem
- At least one numerical example
- Mention how the formulated problem is coded and solved. No need to provide GAMS code.
- References
- Please consider linking the references by using this as Wiki template, https://optimization.cbe.cornell.edu/index.php?title=Quantum_computing_for_optimization
Set covering problem
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Use proper math notations for “greater than equal to”.
- At least one numerical example
- Since Table 3 provides information on aij required to formulate the constraints, Table 2 serves no purpose and should be removed from the Wiki. Table 3 can be directly generated from Table 1.
- The numerical example is solved manually without using greedy method nor LP solution method. Please solve this example both by the presented greedy algorithm and the newly added LP-based method and finally compare solutions.
- Please leave some space between equation and equation number.
Quadratic assignment problem
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Discuss dynamic programming and cutting plane solution techniques briefly.
- A section to discuss and/or illustrate the applications
- Please format the equation for definition of yij in the hospital layout subsection.
Newsvendor problem
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- A math programming formulation of the optimization problem with objective function and constraints is expected for the formulation. Please add any variant of the newsvendor problem along with some operational constraints.
- A mathematical presentation of the solution technique is expected. Please consider any distribution for R and present a solution technique for that specific problem.
Mixed-integer cuts
- A section to discuss and/or illustrate the applications
- MILP and their solution techniques involving cuts are extremely versatile. Yet, only two sentences are added to describe their applications. Please discuss their applications, preferably real-world applications, in brief. Example Wikis provided on the website could be used as a reference to do so.
Column generation algorithms
- An introduction of the topic
- References at the end of the sentence should be placed after the period.
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Some minor typos/article agreement issues exist “is not partical in real-world”.
- Referencing subtitle "Methodology" is not a formal way.
Heuristic algorithms
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Please use proper symbol for "greater than or equal to".
- Greedy method to solve minimum spanning tree seems to be missing.
Branch and cut
- Theory, methodology, and/or algorithmic discussions
- Equation in most infeasible branching section is not properly formatted, please fix the same.
- Step 2 appears abruptly in the algorithm and does not explain much. Please add more information regarding the same.
- Step 5 contains latex code terms that are not properly formatted. Please fix the same.
- Fix typos: e.g., repeated “for the current”, men Problem can viewed as partially” ..
