Operations research without convexity
Operations Research (OR) is one of the most applicable areas of mathematics and of importance for the future of technologically advanced Australia. However, applications of OR often require convexity. This is a serious limitation. A new approach, monotonic analysis, which is applicable to a broad class of nonconvex problems, was given birth by the CI. Promising results have been obtained and leading researchers around the world are keen to work with the CI developing this topic. This project both cements and extends world leadership in this field.
