We introduce the Constrained Least-cost Tour (CLT) problem: given an undirected graph with weight and cost functions on the edges, minimise the total cost of a tour rooted at a start vertex such that the total weight lies within a given…

In the development of industrial digital twins, the optimization problem of technological and business processes often arises. In many cases, this problem can be reduced to a large-scale linear programming (LP) problem. The article is…

We develop a spatial branch-and-cut approach for nonconvex Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programs with bounded complex variables (CQCQP). Linear valid inequalities are added at each node of the search tree to strengthen semidefinite…

The Map-Reduce computing framework rose to prominence with datasets of such size that dozens of machines on a single cluster were needed for individual jobs. As datasets approach the exabyte scale, a single job may need distributed…

We consider a Bar Charts Packing Problem (BCPP), in which it is necessary to pack bar charts (BCs) in a strip of minimum length. The problem is, on the one hand, a generalization of the Bin Packing Problem (BPP), and, on the other hand, a…

Approximate dynamic programming (ADP) faces challenges in dealing with constraints in control problems. Model predictive control (MPC) is, in comparison, well-known for its accommodation of constraints and stability guarantees, although its…

We explore the clearing problem in the barter exchange market. The problem, described in the terminology of graph theory, is to find a set of vertex-disjoint, length-restricted cycles that maximize the total weight in a weighted digraph.…

This paper focuses on the identical parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup time, with special attention paid to the uncertainty of processing time. In this paper, a mathematical model of the parallel machine…

This paper investigates a variant of the dial-a-ride problem (DARP), namely Risk-aware DARP (RDARP). Our RDARP extends the DARP by (1) minimizing a weighted sum of travel cost and disease-transmission risk exposure for onboard passengers…

In the paper, we consider the competitive facility location problem with limited choice rule (CFLPLCR), which attempts to open a subset of facilities to maximize the net profit of a newcomer company, requiring customers to patronize only a…

According to the structural balance theory, a signed graph is considered structurally balanced when it can be partitioned into a number of modules such that positive and negative edges are respectively located inside and between the…

In this paper we propose a parallel coordinate descent algorithm for solving smooth convex optimization problems with separable constraints that may arise e.g. in distributed model predictive control (MPC) for linear network systems. Our…

The Clique Interdiction Problem (CIP) aims to minimize the size of the largest clique in a given graph by removing a given number of vertices. The CIP models a special Stackelberg game and has important applications in fields such as…

The Minimum Path Cover (MPC) problem consists of finding a minimum-cardinality set of node-disjoint paths that cover all nodes in a given graph. We explore a variant of the MPC problem on acyclic digraphs (DAGs) where, given a subset of…

This paper proposes a mixed-integer nonlinear programming approach for joint scheduling of long-term maintenance decisions and short-term production for groups of complex machines with multiple interacting components. We introduce an…

In this paper, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm for solving nonconvex quadratic programming problems with box constraints (BoxQP). Our approach combines existing tools, such as semidefinite programming (SDP) bounds strengthened…

We study the assortment optimization problem under general linear constraints, where the customer choice behavior is captured by the Cross-Nested Logit model. In this problem, there is a set of products organized into multiple subsets (or…

The minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC), or k-means type clustering, has been recently extended to exploit prior knowledge on the cardinality of each cluster. Such knowledge is used to increase performance as well as solution quality.…

In this paper, elliptic optimal control problems involving the $L^1$-control cost ($L^1$-EOCP) is considered. To numerically discretize $L^1$-EOCP, the standard piecewise linear finite element is employed. However, different from the finite…

Two-stage stochastic integer programs provide a powerful framework for modeling decision-making under uncertainty, but they are notoriously difficult to solve at scale due to their high dimensionality and intrinsic nonconvexity.…
