PhD Theses

PhD Theses

PhD Theses treat usually complex mathematical optimization problems, for which there exist no satisfying solution methods so far. The problem results usually from concrete applications in industry and economy or from engineering and scientific questions. The main interest of our working group lies in optimization problems which contain combinatorial elements or decision-demanding questions, i.e. questions, which permit only yes/no answers. Mathematically, such questions can be formulated as mixed-integer linear or nonlinear problems (short MIP or MINLP). A thesis usually contains the setting of a suitable mathematical model, the analysis of the underlying MIPs and/or MINLPs, the development and extension of suitable solution procedures as well as the application on real and realistic data.
