Description :
The Paris-Nord Computer Science Laboratory (LIPN – CNRS UMR 7030) wishes to strengthen the
research in Combinatorial Optimization carried out by the Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization
(AOC) team by recruiting an associate professor.
The Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization (AOC) team includes three closely related research
axes: Polyhedron and optimization in graphs, Mathematical programming, and Distributed algorithms,
software, and architectures. The variety of approaches implemented and the wide spectrum of issues
addressed allow the team to conduct research on the theoretical and practical aspects of combinatorial
optimization and operation research, in particular by developing original methods from conception
until the implementation of the algorithms
The team has developed local collaborations (within the MathSTIC federation in particular), regional
(with CERMICS, LIX, CNAM, LAMSADE, LIP6, etc.), national (Bordeaux, Grenoble, Nantes, Nancy, etc.)
and international (Italy, USA, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Scotland, Spain, etc.). It also has numerous
industrial collaborations.
The Mathematical Programming axis of the AOC team mainly deals with the exact and approximate
resolution of combinatorial optimization problems via different approaches. Among these approaches
are cuts generation and column generation schemes, as well as decomposition and relaxation
methods. We also approach the resolution of problems by nonlinear models, polyhedral approaches,
optimization under uncertainties (reoptimization, robustness) and metaheuristics. The Polyhedron and
Optimization in Graphs axis focuses on more structural issues such as the characterization of
equimodular matrices and the description of Box-TDI systems and polyhedra. The theoretical and
methodological work is complemented by software contributions and industrial transfer.
The profile sought can come from any field of combinatorial optimization and operational research
related to one of the axes of the team.
