Mission statement
Optimization Online is a repository of eprints about optimization and related topics. It facilitates quick dissemination of new research of interest to the optimization community. This service is free.

Submission and Moderation
Papers can be submitted electronically to Optimization Online in in pdf, postscript, or compressed formats. Papers are screened to ensure their relevance by one of the coordinators for the category selected by the submitting author as the principal category. The acceptance/rejection decision of a coordinator is final. Coordinators check that the submission details given by the authors are all present and correct and that the submitted files are readable. They do not usually evaluate the report for quality or mathematical correctness. Consequently, we make no claim about quality or correctness of the reports on the site.

Copyright
By submitting a paper, all authors of the paper agree that other users of Optimization Online can download the paper for personal use. Authors are responsible for removing a paper from the site once copyright for the paper has been transferred to a publisher. The coordinators, sponsors, and hosts of Optimization Online are not responsible for any copyright violations resulting from posting of papers on this site. We encourage authors to provide a reference to the paper in place of the full text, once it has been published in a journal.
