发帖数: 421 | 1 I'm doing applied research.
I used some mathamtical tools to solve a practical problem with practical
constraints (other people solved similar problems but neglected some
important constraints).
Clearly, the mathematical tools are not my contribution. Then, my
contribution is modeling a practical problem and solving it. However, this
seems not sufficient. How should I highlight my research?
Moreover, if I want to show some technical depth of my research, is it good
to show the mathematical derivations? My concern is that the mathematical
tools are sort of standard... (like convex programming: once formulated as
convex programming, the problem is always "easy" to solve, and sometimes the
closed-form solution is available. However, it follows standard steps).

发帖数: 1658 | 2 IMHO, try to emphasize how you figure out those imprtant constraints, the
consequences people have encountered by negelcting those constraints, and
the contribution to industry/academia using your improved appraoch...
in your research, mathematical optimization is just a tool (there are tons
of different optim tools to use). you do not need to focus on the tool
itslef. Formulating an optimzation problem and finding a suitable tool to
solve it is already important in engineering field. |
