On the Record: How to Use Gurobi to Solve Linear Programming Problems!

I have recently learnt how to solve some mathematical programming problems using Gurobi, an optimisation solver, in Python. Before joining the STOR-i programme, I was a complete novice at programming in Python so getting to grips with it is really exciting! One of the problems Gurobi is especially useful for Read more…

Approximate Dynamic Programming

Tetris, Markov Decision Processes and Approximate Dynamic Programming

I recently learnt about Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). These are sequential decision processes, commonly found in the real world where decisions need to be made in an environment with uncertainty. Solving these problems, especially when they are large, is a big challenge. During my research of MDPs, I learnt these Read more…
