This is Part II of a study on mixed-integer programming (MIP) relaxation techniques for the solution of non-convex mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programs (MIQCQPs). We set the focus on MIP relaxation methods for…
We propose a variable smoothing algorithm for minimizing a nonsmooth and nonconvex cost function. The cost function is the sum of a smooth function and a composition of a difference-of-convex (DC) function with a smooth mapping. At each…
In this paper, we consider the canonical water network design problem, which contains nonconvex potential loss functions and discrete resistance choices with varying costs. Traditionally, to resolve the nonconvexities of this problem,…
Mixed integer convex and nonlinear programs, MICP and MINLP, are expressive but require long solving times. Recent work that combines learning methods on solver heuristics has shown potential to overcome this issue allowing for applications…
Machine learning components commonly appear in larger decision-making pipelines; however, the model training process typically focuses only on a loss that measures accuracy between predicted values and ground truth values. Decision-focused…
This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) for dynamic systems whose nonlinearity and uncertainty are modelled by deep neural networks (NNs), under input and state constraints. Since the NN output contains a high-order complex…
The recent performance improvements in mixed-integer programming (MIP) have been accompanied by a significantly increased complexity of the codes of MIP solvers, which poses challenges in fixing implementation errors. In this paper, we…
Decades of advances in mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and recent development in mixed-integer second-order-cone programming (MISOCP) have translated very mildly to progresses in global solving nonconvex mixed-integer quadratically…
Indefinite quadratic programs (QPs) are known to be very difficult to be solved to global optimality, so are linear programs with linear complementarity constraints. Treating the former as a subclass of the latter, this paper presents a…
An important problem in optimization is the construction of mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulations of disjunctive constraints that are both strong and small. Motivated by lower bounds on the number of integer variables that are…
Mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) are arguably among the hardest optimization problems, with a wide range of applications. MINLP solvers that are based on linear relaxations and spatial branching work similar as mixed integer…
In this paper, we develop new continuous and discrete relaxations for nonlinear expressions in an MINLP. In contrast to factorable programming, our techniques utilize the inner-function structure by encapsulating it in a polyhedral set,…
We present an ideal mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for a rectified linear unit (ReLU) appearing in a trained neural network. Our formulation requires a single binary variable and no additional continuous variables beyond the…
We present a new mixed-integer programming (MIP) approach for offline multiple change-point detection by casting the problem as a globally optimal piecewise linear (PWL) fitting problem. Our main contribution is a family of strengthened MIP…
In this paper we consider the difference-of-convex (DC) programming problems, whose objective function is the difference of two convex functions. The classical DC Algorithm (DCA) is well-known for solving this kind of problems, which…
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.,…
In this paper, we develop a new formulation of changeover constraints for mixed integer programming problem (MIP) that emerges in solving a short-term production scheduling problem. The new model requires fewer constraints than the original…
This article presents the first mixed-integer linear programming (MILP)-based iterative algorithm to solve factorable mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) with bounded, differentiable periodic functions to global optimality with an…
The irregular strip-packing problem, also known as nesting or marker making, is defined as the automatic computation of a non-overlapping placement of a set of non-convex polygons onto a rectangular strip of fixed width and unbounded…
In this paper, we propose an optimization-based method for robust phase retrieval problem where the goal is to estimate an unknown signal from a quadratic measurement corrupted by outliers. To enhance the robustness of existing optimization…
