- Hands-On Mathematical Optimization with PythonBook
A gentle introduction to optimization with Python.
- Introduction to algorithmsBook
Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness.
- Introduction to Operations ResearchBook
An introduction to Operations Research with theory from Linear Programming to simulation, passing through Nonlinear Programming, Game Theory, Metaheuristics or Network flows, among others.
- MathOpt: Solver Independent Modeling in Google OR-ToolsVideo
A new interface for Google OR-Tools.
- MIPLearnSoftware
An extensible framework for solving discrete optimization problems using a combination of Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MIP) and Machine Learning (ML). MIPLearn uses ML methods to automatically identify patterns in previously solved instances of the problem, then uses these patterns to accelerate the performance of conventional state-of-the-art MIP solvers such as CPLEX, Gurobi or XPRESS.
- ML ain’t your only hammerVideo
Introduction to the field of mathematical optimization.
- Modern LP Book - DualityBook
A discussion about books focused on duality theory
- Operations Research: an introductionBook
A book covering the basics of Operations Research
- Optano blogBlog
Blog with news about optimization of structures and processes (including logistics planning, network planning, production planning…)
- Optimization via Relaxation and DecompositionBook
This book offers an up-to-date description of relaxation/approximation and decomposition techniques, demonstrating how their combined use efficiently solves large-scale optimization problems relevant to engineering, particularly in electrical, and industrial engineering, with a focus on energy.
- Optimizing with Column GenerationBook
An interesting book about Column Generation to tackle large-scale optimization problems
- Pragmatic OR: Solving large scale optimization problems in fast moving environmentsVideo
Rubén Ruiz, Principal Applied Scientist at Amazon, shows how he leverages Hexaly at Amazon to solve a gigantic optimization problem that is out of the scope of other MILP solvers.
