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.
