优化牛人 John W. Chinneck 简介

John W. Chinneck is a professor in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering. His degrees are from the University of Waterloo in Systems Design Engineering (BASc 1977, MASc 1978, PhD 1983).

Professor Chinneck conducts research in the general area of applied optimization, including various applications in engineering. He has a special interest in the development of computer tools that assist in the formulation and analysis of very large and complex optimization models. His algorithms for the analysis of infeasible linear programs have been incorporated in many commercial linear programming solvers, including LINDO, CPLEX, XPRESS-MP, Frontline Systems Excel solvers, and IBM's OSL. Two of his computer programs are available elsewhere on this site: MProbe for analyzing the "shape" of arbitrary nonlinear functions of high dimension, and MINOS(IIS) for analyzing infeasibility in linear programs.

He is a member of the advisory board and former Editor-in-Chief (2007-2012) of the INFORMS Journal on Computing, which covers the interface between Operations Research and Computer Science, a member of the editorial board for the journal Constraints, and a past member of the editorial board for Computational Management Science.  He is a past Chair (2005-2007) of the INFORMS Computing Society.

Professor Chinneck has several years of consulting experience including co-founding and operating a multi-person consulting engineering practice (Enermodal Engineering Limited). Experience also includes a stint as an energy conservation engineer for a large integrated steel manufacturer.

（chinneck 教授的研究 对于线性 问题的不可行解算法 已经应用在很多的商业软件：LINDO CPLEX XPRESS-MP Frontline-system.., 同时他开发的程序：MProbe 用于分析任意非线性函数高维的形状（不懂了） and MINOS （IIS） 用于分析线性问题的不可行解）

我在看CPLEX里也用到他的方法 此乃大神也
