We consider a class of nonsmooth fractional programming problems with fixed-point constraints, where the numerator is convex and the denominator is concave. To solve this problem, we propose splitting algorithms that compute subgradient…

In this paper the problem of maximizing the distance to a given fixed point over an intersection of balls is considered. It is known that this problem is NP complete in the general case, since any subset sum problem can be solved upon…

The Method of Alternating Projections (MAP), a classical algorithm for solving feasibility prob- lems, has recently been intensely studied for nonconvex sets. However, intrinsically available are only local convergence results: convergence…

A convex partition of a point set P in the plane is a planar partition of the convex hull of P with empty convex polygons or internal faces whose extreme points belong to P. In a convex partition, the union of the internal faces give the…

In this paper we provide an algorithm for solving constrained composite primal-dual monotone inclusions, i.e., monotone inclusions in which a priori information on primal-dual solutions is represented via closed convex sets. The proposed…

We describe a factor-revealing convex optimization problem for the integrality gap of the maximum-cut semidefinite programming relaxation: for each $n \geq 2$ we present a convex optimization problem whose optimal value is the largest…

A recent series of papers has examined the extension of disjunctive-programming techniques to mixed-integer second-order-cone programming. For example, it has been shown---by several authors using different techniques---that the convex hull…

In this note we describe experiments on an implementation of two methods proposed in the literature for computing regions that correspond to a notion of order statistics for multidimensional data. Our implementation, which works for any…

We consider optimization problems containing nonconvex quadratic functions for which semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations often yield strong bounds. We investigate linear inequalities that outer approximate the positive semidefinite…

Primal-Dual Interior-Point methods are capable of solving constrained convex optimization problems to tight tolerances in a fast and robust manner. The derivatives of the primal-dual solution with respect to the problem matrices can be…

This paper presents a practical GPU-accelerated convex hull algorithm and a novel Sorting-based Preprocessing Approach (SPA) for planar point sets. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: (1) two rounds of preprocessing performed on…

This paper considers the relaxed Peaceman-Rachford (PR) splitting method for finding an approximate solution of a monotone inclusion whose underlying operator consists of the sum of two maximal strongly monotone operators. Using general…

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…

We give properties of strict pseudocontractions and demicontractions defined on a Hilbert space, which constitute wide classes of operators that arise in iterative methods for solving fixed point problems. In particular, we give necessary…

We study exact recovery conditions for convex relaxations of point cloud clustering problems, focusing on two of the most common optimization problems for unsupervised clustering: $k$-means and $k$-median clustering. Motivations for…

Accurate structural relaxation is critical for advanced materials design. Traditional approaches built on physics-derived first-principles calculations are computationally expensive, motivating the creation of machine-learning interatomic…

This paper studies disjunctive cutting planes in Mixed-Integer Conic Programming. Building on conic duality, we formulate a cut-generating conic program for separating disjunctive cuts, and investigate the impact of the normalization…

We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the quality of these relaxations by studying the approximation…

Concerning huge-scale aggregative convex programming of a linear objective subject to the affine constraints of equality and inequality and the quadratic constraints of inequality, convex and aggregatively computable, an algorithm is…

Chance-constrained programming is a widely used framework for decision-making under uncertainty, yet its mixed-integer reformulations involve nonconvex mixing sets with a knapsack constraint, leading to weak relaxations and computational…
