Published by Springer, MPA is the flagship journal of the Mathematical Optimization Society. MPA publishes original articles dealing with all aspects of mathematical optimization; that is, everything of direct or indirect use concerning the problem of optimizing a function of many variables, often subject to a set of constraints. This involves theoretical and computational issues arising in a wide variety of methodological and applied studies. Previously, Jon was a Co-Editor of MPA.

Please join the IOE Department in congratulating Jon on this honor!
