result Improves framing and communication across stakeholders for successful business impact.

We address the problem of prescribing an optimal decision in a framework where the cost function depends on uncertain problem parameters that need to be learned from data. Earlier work proposed prescriptive formulations based on supervised machine learning methods. These prescriptive methods can factor in contextual in…

In this paper, we introduce a framework for solving finite-horizon multistage optimization problems under uncertainty in the presence of auxiliary data. We assume the joint distribution of the uncertain quantities is unknown, but noisy observations, along with observations of auxiliary covariates, are available. We uti…

In this paper we give a new proof of a theorem by Alexandrov on the Gauss curvature prescription of Euclidean convex sets. This proof is based on the duality theory of convex sets and on optimal mass transport. A noteworthy property of this proof is that it does not rely neither on the theory of convex polyhedra nor on…

Arborescent knots are the ones which can be represented in terms of double fat graphs or equivalently as tree Feynman diagrams. This is the class of knots for which the present knowledge is enough for lifting topological description to the level of effective analytical formulas. The paper describes the origin and struc…

Two problems concerning asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with an inner boundary are studied. First, we study scalar curvature presciption with either Dirichlet or mean curvature prescription interior boundary condition. Then we apply those results to the Lichnerowicz equation with (future or past) apparent horizon i…

Let MM be an open Riemann surface and n3n\ge 3 be an integer. We prove that on any closed discrete subset of MM one can prescribe the values of a conformal minimal immersion MRnM\to\mathbb{R}^n. Our result also ensures jet-interpolation of given finite order, and hence, in particular, one may in addition prescribe the…

We outline Hutchings's prescription that produces an ECH analog of Latschev and Wendl's algebraic kk-torsion in the context of echech, a variant of ECH used in a proof of the isomorphism between Heegaard Floer and Seiberg-Witten Floer homologies; and we explain how it translates into Heegaard Floer homology.

As a new step in the study of rectangularly-colored knot polynomials, we reformulate the prescription of arXiv:1606.06015 for twist knots in the double-column representations R=[rr]R=[rr] in terms of skew Schur polynomials. These, however, are mysteriously shifted from the standard topological locus, what makes further gen…

In this paper, we combine ideas from machine learning (ML) and operations research and management science (OR/MS) in developing a framework, along with specific methods, for using data to prescribe optimal decisions in OR/MS problems. In a departure from other work on data-driven optimization and reflecting our practic…

For any Lie groupoid GG, the vector bundle gg^* dual to the associated Lie algebroid gg is canonically a Poisson manifold. The (reduced) C*-algebra of GG (as defined by A. Connes) is shown to be a strict quantization (in the sense of M. Rieffel) of gg^*. This is proved using a generalization of Weyl's quantization…
