Research Interests/Selected-Work

Linear and Mathematical Programming: including Predictor-Corrector IPM and Homogeneous and Self-Dual Algorithm that are implementaed in all Linear Programming Commercial Solvers, and Convex Relaxation for Non-convex Optimization

Optimization Algorithm Design and Analysis: including Statistical Ranking & Hodge Theory and Near-Optimal Sample Complexities for Solving Generative MDPs in Machine Learning, and LP-IPM with Runing Time Depending only on A

Operations Research Models and their Applications: including Distributionally Robust Optimization/Decision Making underData Uncertainty, where we created the name DRO first time, and Online Linear Programming as a general model for dynamic resource allocations, both are populary applied in business and industries; and Disciplined Convex Programming & Earlier Development of CVX

Computational Complexity and Algorithmic Game Theory: including Computational Complexity of Simplex and Policy-Iteration Methods and Convergence of Multi-Block ADMM where we settled long-time open questions, and Computation of Linear Market Equilibria can be done in polynomial time

Optimization Solvers on GPU: including cuPDLP-C: A Strengthened Implementation of cuPDLP for Linear Programming by C language 2023, Accelerating Low-Rank Factorization-Based Semidefinite Programming Algorithms on GPU and PDHCG: A Restarted Primal-Dual Hybrid Conjugate Gradient Method for Large-Scale Quadratic Programming
