This project concerns computational studies in the broad area of                optimization, with emphasis on discrete optimization and its                    applications (particularly in the physical sciences), the use of                parallel computation in discrete and continuous optimization, and               linear programming.  Specific projects to be investigated include               optimal sequencing of readings on an x-ray diffractometer,                      validation of simulated annealing in statistical mechanics,                     analysis of molecular conformation, parallel algorithms for                     nonlinear optimization, and implementation of Karmarkar's linear                programming algorithm, among several others.  Extensive use will                be made of the National Supercomputer facility at Cornell's                     Theory Center.
