Outline of Annual Research Achievements

International collaboration: William Cook (Waterloo) May 12-27. We worked on various alternate formulations for the traveling salesman polytope using the compiler developed with David Bremner. Danny Solow(Case Western Institute) May 31-June 15. We discussed improved expositions of basic algorithms in combinatorial optimization. Natasha Devroye(U. Illinois at Chicago) Sep 28-Oct 31. We discussed various aspects of network information theory. All three visitors gave invited seminars.
Four journal papers were published during the last year and two new papers were written with Charles Jordan (Hokkaido U.) and uploaded to the arXiv. The first paper presented numerical results for the mplrs parallel vertex enumeration software code written with Jordan. This code was released in July 2015. The second paper was a technical discussion of the new techniques of parallel tree search that are contained in mplrs.This paper has been submitted to an international journal for publication. We made further improvements to mplrs during the year resulting in a new release in November 2015. Additional code was written for finding Nash equilibrium. This code was developed with Terje Lensberg (NHH,Norway).
