數(shù)學(xué)規(guī)劃出版涉及數(shù)學(xué)優(yōu)化各個(gè)方面的原創(chuàng)文章;也就是說，所有直接或間接使用的關(guān)于優(yōu)化多變量函數(shù)的問題，通常受一組約束。這包括理論和計(jì)算問題以及應(yīng)用研究。包括線性、非線性、整數(shù)、圓錐、隨機(jī)和組合優(yōu)化等標(biāo)準(zhǔn)主題，從數(shù)學(xué)規(guī)劃的角度闡述和應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)規(guī)劃模型、凸、非光滑和變分分析、多面體理論、變分不等式、控制和博弈論。編輯委員會(huì)對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)編程的新應(yīng)用和與工程、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)和計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)的接口特別感興趣。一般來說，主要涉及計(jì)算問題(如實(shí)現(xiàn)和測(cè)試)的文章應(yīng)該提交給數(shù)學(xué)編程計(jì)算。數(shù)學(xué)規(guī)劃由兩個(gè)系列組成。A系列出版關(guān)于計(jì)算實(shí)驗(yàn)、新的或創(chuàng)新的實(shí)際應(yīng)用以及處理上述問題的簡(jiǎn)短通信的原創(chuàng)研究文章、展覽和調(diào)查報(bào)告。B系列的每個(gè)問題都集中在數(shù)學(xué)編程社區(qū)當(dāng)前感興趣的一個(gè)主題上。每一期B輯都有一個(gè)或多個(gè)客座編輯，他們不必是編委會(huì)成員。一個(gè)問題可能是一個(gè)原始文章的集合，一個(gè)單一的研究專著或一個(gè)會(huì)議的論文選擇。

Mathematical Programming publishes original articles dealing with every aspect 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 as well as application studies. Included, along with the standard topics of linear, nonlinear, integer, conic, stochastic and combinatorial optimization, are techniques for formulating and applying mathematical programming models, convex, nonsmooth and variational analysis, the theory of polyhedra, variational inequalities, and control and game theory viewed from the perspective of mathematical programming. The editorial boards are particularly interested in novel applications of mathematical programming and interfaces with engineering, economics, and computer science. Articles primarily concerned with computational issues such as implementation and testing should in general be submitted to Mathematical Programming Computation.Mathematical Programming consists of two series. Series A publishes original research articles, expositions and surveys, and reports on computational experimentation and new or innovative practical applications as well as short communications dealing with the above. Issues of Series B each focus on a single subject of current interest to the mathematical programming community. Each issue of Series B has one or more guest editors, who need not be members of the editorial board. An issue may be a collection of original articles, a single research monograph or a selection of papers from a conference.
