In this paper, we perform a comparison study of two methods (the embedded boundary method and several versions of the mixed finite element method) to solve an elliptic boundary value problem.

Motivated by applications in wireless communications, this paper develops semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation techniques for some mixed binary quadratically constrained quadratic programs (MBQCQP) and analyzes their approximation…

Previous works suggested the use of Branch and Bound techniques for finding the optimal allocation in (multi-unit) combinatorial auctions. They remarked that Linear Programming could provide a good upper-bound to the optimal allocation, but…

In this paper, we study a class of fractional semi-infinite polynomial programming problems involving s.o.s-convex polynomial functions. For such a problem, by a conic reformulation proposed in our previous work and the quadratic modules…

Over the past decade, decision diagrams (DDs) have been used to model and solve integer programming and combinatorial optimization problems. Despite successful performance of DDs in solving various discrete optimization problems, their…

Two essential ingredients of modern mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers are diving heuristics that simulate a partial depth-first search in a branch-and-bound search tree and conflict analysis of infeasible subproblems to learn valid…

Mixed-integer programming (MIP) extends linear programming by incorporating both continuous and integer decision variables, making it widely used in production planning, logistics scheduling, and resource allocation. However, MIP remains…

The aim of this paper is to solve large-and-sparse linear Semidefinite Programs (SDPs) with low-rank solutions. We propose to use a preconditioned conjugate gradient method within second-order SDP algorithms and introduce a new efficient…

This paper shows how to find lower bounds on, and sometimes solve globally, a large class of nonlinear optimal control problems with impulsive controls using semi-definite programming (SDP). This is done by relaxing an optimal control…

In this paper, we propose a Bi-layer Predictionbased Reduction Branch (BP-RB) framework to speed up the process of finding a high-quality feasible solution for Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems. A graph convolutional network (GCN) is…

Combinatorial problems stated as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) are examined. It is shown by example that any algorithm designed for the original CSP, and involving the AllDifferent constraint, has at least the same level of…

For almost two decades, mixed integer programming (MIP) solvers have used graph-based conflict analysis to learn from local infeasibilities during branch-and-bound search. In this paper, we improve MIP conflict analysis by instead using…

In this paper, we describe a comprehensive algorithmic framework for solving mixed integer bilevel linear optimization problems (MIBLPs) using a generalized branch-and-cut approach. The framework presented merges features from existing…

The Immersed Boundary (IB) method of Peskin (J. Comput. Phys., 1977) is useful for problems involving fluid-structure interactions or complex geometries. By making use of a regular grid that is independent of the geometry, the IB framework…

We study mixed-integer programming (MIP) relaxation techniques for the solution of non convex mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programs (MIQCQPs). We present MIP relaxation methods for non convex continuous variable…

We introduce techniques to build small ideal mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulations of combinatorial disjunctive constraints (CDCs) via the independent branching scheme. We present a novel pairwise IB-representable class of CDCs, CDCs…

Strongly coupled immersed boundary (IB) methods solve the nonlinear fluid and structural equations of motion simultaneously for strongly enforcing the no-slip constraint on the body. Handling this constraint requires solving several large…

Augmentation methods for mixed-integer (linear) programs are a class of primal solution approaches in which a current iterate is augmented to a better solution or proved optimal. It is well known that the performance of these methods, i.e.,…

This paper proposes a general fixture layout design framework that directly integrates the system equation with the convex relaxation method. Note that the optimal fixture design problem is a large-scale combinatorial optimization problem,…

We address the aircraft conflict resolution problem in air traffic control. We introduce new mixed-integer programming formulations for aircraft conflict resolution with speed, heading and altitude control which are based on disjunctive…
