地 点：理科楼408
报告题目：Recent Linear Programming Developments
报告摘要：
Linear programming (LP) has been a core Operations Research and Management Science model since 1947. Due to the relentless research effort in LP algorithms, a linear program can be solved today one million times faster than it was done twenty years ago. Businesses, large and small, now use LP models to control manufacture inventories, price commodities, design civil/communication networks, and plan investments. LP even becomes a popular subject taught in under/graduate and MBA curriculums, advancing human knowledge and promoting science education. Now many new important computational problems are emerging or reemerging. In particular, there has been a growing trend in models, theories, and algorithms on problems arisen in Internet economics, information network, auction/game, stochastic and on-line decision making, as well as social organization issues enabled through World Wide Web. The aim of the tutorial is to describe several modern linear programming developments and applications, such as auction, pricing, mechanism design, and information aggregation. We also present a few recent algorithmic developments and future research directions of linear programming.
