The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.

The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Optimization and Mathematical modelling research group - OPTIMATH

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2023-589

 
Description of research activity:
The group's work includes developing mathematical optimisation tools to solve problems where optimal action needs to be taken with limited resources. A large number of theoretical and practical problems can be found that involve optimisation and can be applied in both industry and science. From the classic problems of telecommunications network design, localisation or production organisation to the latest software engineering and reengineering. Regardless of the nature of the situation that brings about each problem, a common feature to all is their complexity. As a result, complex mathematical models are needed to reflect the characteristics of the situation, as well as algorithms or procedures that generate the desired solutions with modern computer tools. Therefore, we will essentially develop exact and heuristic models and algorithms for solving different combinatorial optimisation problems that involve different areas such as engineering and logistics (routes, storage, location) among others. This includes the study of the properties of the problems studied, the analysis of new optimisation methods (linear and non-linear; continuous, integer and combinatorial; deterministic...The group's work includes developing mathematical optimisation tools to solve problems where optimal action needs to be taken with limited resources.
