Does there exist a commonly used public instance benchmark set for robust optimization? Or sets of instances which are frequently used within the literature?

This was hard work but now we are happy!

The #BOBILib paper has today been accepted for publication in Mathematical Programming Computation!

Here's the final version of the preprint: optimization-online.org/wp-content/u...!

And here's the website bobilib.org!

Spread the word and use it! :-)

This is now out, we're super proud to have won the Land-Doig MIP competition prize for our algorithm for mixed-integer quadratic optimization!
Jan Kronqvist announces at the #mip2025 workshop that the MIP Competition will be from now on known as the Land-Doig MIP Competition.

The winners this year are a team from the Zuse Institute Berlin, represented by Gioni Mexi, who presents their approach based on branch-and-bound with Frank-Wolfe.

passagemath 10.5.27 contains (a preliminary version of) the new package passagemath-cmr, an interface to the Combinatorial Matrix Recognition library by Matthias Walter et al., implementing Seymour's decomposition of TU matrices etc.

After attempting to tune MIR cuts in SCIP for 3.5 days, I understand better why people are willing to pay so much for a commercial MIP solver license.

I am very pleased to announce that a 1996 paper I wrote on graph coloring and column generation with Anuj Mehrotra was given a "Test of Time" award by the INFORMS Journal of Computing for papers written 1995-1999. The full citation is at pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/...
