- Free the world from wasteful scheduling with Timefold AIVideo
Solve NP-hard optimization problems with Timefold AI.
- 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.
- Mathprog-ORlibDataset
This site provides access to a number of Operations Research problem data sets.
- 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
- 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
- Optsicom ProjectDataset
Instances for several interesting NP-hard 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.
- QAPlibDataset
Instances for Quadratic Assignment Problems.
- SNDlibDataset
SNDlib is a library of data for Survivable fixed telecommunication Network Design. Its purpose is to provide data about realistic telecommunication networks (including traffic) available to the research community.
- The OR-LibraryDataset
OR-Library is a collection of test data sets for a variety of Operations Research (OR) problems.
- TSPlibDataset
TSPLIB is a library of sample instances for the TSP (and related problems) from various sources and of various types.
- VRPlibDataset
This web is dedicated to the study of VRP; we have compiled here a great deal of information about it for public access: technical reports, many different variants of the problem, alternative algorithms and techniques for solving it, some well-known instances of the problem, the best-so-far solutions for those instances, bibliography, related links…
