IBM mathematicians have made contributions to state-of-the-art algorithms for linear, non-linear, mixed-integer and derivative-free optimization, as well as new areas such as algorithmic game theory and quantum complexity. Working with IBM Business Consulting Services and the IBM Center for Business Optimization, researchers have access to an array of challenging problems that have resulted in innovative solutions and a deeper understanding of the fundamental theoretical issues underlying many business problems.
