Open Problems in Operations Research

Summary of Results

Aggregate outcomes of our agentic pipeline across every open problem extracted from the source journals/conferences. Figures are computed from the published dataset each time this page loads, so they always match the problem listings.

Read these figures as provisional. Write-ups are LLM-generated and passed an automated fidelity audit; a small subset of solutions are human-verified for testing, but not all of the generated solutions or partial progress. A problem counted as solved below has at least one solution write-up, not a verified proof.

At a glance

Progress across all problems

Each problem falls into exactly one bucket. “Partial progress” means no full write-up exists yet, but at least one partial result does.

What the solutions look like

Solution write-ups are classified by how the problem was resolved — by proving the statement, or by refuting it with a counterexample.

Progress by category

Research categories follow the site taxonomy, ordered by number of problems.
