We propose a new algorithm for solving multistage stochastic mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems with complete continuous recourse. In a similar way to cutting plane methods, we construct nonlinear Lipschitz cuts to build lower…

We develop a decomposition algorithm for distributionally-robust two-stage stochastic mixed-integer convex cone programs, and its important special case of distributionally-robust two-stage stochastic mixed-integer second order cone…

Constraint handling remains a key bottleneck in quantum combinatorial optimization. While slack-variable-based encodings are straightforward, they significantly increase qubit counts and circuit depth, challenging the scalability of quantum…

Dual decomposition is a powerful technique for deriving decomposition schemes for convex optimization problems with separable structure. Although the Augmented Lagrangian is computationally more stable than the ordinary Lagrangian, the…

Data-driven decision-making processes increasingly utilize end-to-end learnable deep neural networks to render final decisions. Sometimes, the output of the forward functions in certain layers is determined by the solutions to mathematical…

This paper introduces two decomposition-based methods for two-block mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs), which aim to take advantage of separable structures of the original problem by solving a sequence of lower-dimensional MILPs. The…

Convex quadratic programming (QP) is an essential class of optimization problems with broad applications across various fields. Traditional QP solvers, typically based on simplex or barrier methods, face significant scalability challenges.…

A stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with a pointwise linear equality constraint on the terminal state is considered. A strong Lagrangian duality theorem is proved under a uniform convexity condition on the cost…

Stochastic gradient methods (SGMs) have been widely used for solving stochastic optimization problems. A majority of existing works assume no constraints or easy-to-project constraints. In this paper, we consider convex stochastic…

Conventional wisdom in composite optimization suggests augmented Lagrangian dual ascent (ALDA) in Peaceman-Rachford splitting (PRS) methods for dual feasibility. However, ALDA may fail when the primal iterate is a local minimum, a…

We study tightness properties of a Lagrangian dual (LD) bound for the nonconvex alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) problem. We show an LD bound that can be computed in a parallel, decentralized manner. Specifically, the proposed…

Quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) has long been recognized as a computationally challenging problem, particularly in large-scale or high-dimensional settings where solving it directly becomes intractable. The complexity…

We propose a quantum-classical hybrid method for solving large-scale mixed-integer quadratic problems (MIQP). Although extended Benders decomposition is effective for MIQP, its master problem which handles the integer and quadratic…
