This paper presents a new information acquisition problem motivated by business applications where customer data has to be acquired with a specific modeling objective in mind. In ...
We collected and analyzed a number of linear programming problems that have been shown to cycle (not converge) when solved by Dantzig's original simplex algorithm. For these ...
Background: The protein folding problem remains one of the most challenging open problems in computational biology. Simplified models in terms of lattice structure and energy func...
