Most publications of the Vehicle Routing Problem only cover the tip of the iceberg.

Benchmarks and academic papers typically only handle vehicle capacity (CVRP) and time windows (VRPTW)

But production deployments also need to deal with many other requirements.

How to minimize driver costs for the Vehicle Routing Problem.

In this video, I cover dealing with a mixed fleet of employees and contractors. As well as overtime costs.

ETHICAL ANALYSIS: Nonviolent resistance to brutal dictators is morally superior to violent resistance. OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS: Nonviolent resistance to brutal dictators is more effective than armed resistance. #ethics #operationsresearch #evidencebased #bestpractices

I'm not the boss of you.
I can't tell you what to do.
However, I stand for nonviolence.

end-to-end encryption is great and all but be wary. It is not immune to traffic analysis. The ideal for encryption is to look random and that should go for circles of people as well. The Allies used the technique of false radio messages as well in WW2. Read up on Operational Research (As the British boffins called it)

Is there such a thing as communist operations research or is this a contradiction in terms? I'd imagine people using the simplex method, for instance, to figure out how to distribute their community's food, housing, etc. the most efficiently. A cursory search just yields discussions of large scale central management in the PRC.

Are there personal / small community org applications of #operationsResearch? :moomin_hmm:
Something that keeps popping into my mind is: #Cybersyn but #OCAP .
I guess #valueflows is kind of like this? But that's just a vocabulary.
(No, cryptocurrencies are not what I'm looking for.)

Can anybody in #OR
help me identify what this is called?
Suppose you want to minimize f(x) subject to x >= 0. Consider an iterative algorithm that takes steps in the direction of -x * grad f(x), where multiply is element-wise. What is this method called? It's not "Steepest Descent".

But what is a fair schedule?
And how do you measure fairness correctly?

Here's the secret formula for fairness in automated planning, explained in detail:
