In this paper, we study the assortment optimization problem under the mixed-logit customer choice model. While assortment optimization has been a major topic in revenue management for decades, the mixed-logit model is considered one of the…

In container terminal yards, the Container Rehandling Problem (CRP) involves rearranging containers between stacks under specific operational rules, and it is a pivotal optimization challenge in intelligent container scheduling systems.…

Rearranging densely packed tabletop objects is challenging when parallel-gripper picks are infeasible without sufficient clearance around an object. This work studies the problem characteristics for practically motivated settings with…

We survey recent work on machine learning (ML) techniques for selecting cutting planes (or cuts) in mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). Despite the availability of various classes of cuts, the task of choosing a set of cuts to add to…

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…

When implementing model predictive control (MPC) for hybrid systems with a linear or a quadratic performance measure, a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) or a mixed-integer quadratic program (MIQP) needs to be solved, respectively, at…

In the Two-Bar Charts Packing Problem (2-BCPP), it is required to pack the bar charts (BCs) consisting of two bars into the horizontal unit-height strip of minimal length. The bars may move vertically within the strip, but it is forbidden…

Solving linear programs is often a challenging task in distributed settings. While there are good algorithms for solving packing and covering linear programs in a distributed manner (Kuhn et al.~2006), this is essentially the only class of…

We study computational aspects of a key problem in robust statistics -- the penalized least trimmed squares (LTS) regression problem, a robust estimator that mitigates the influence of outliers in data by capping residuals with large…

We study the Quadratic Cycle Cover Problem (QCCP), which aims to find a node-disjoint cycle cover in a directed graph with minimum interaction cost between successive arcs. We derive several semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxations and…

This paper introduces $\Delta$-MILP, a powerful variant of the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) optimization framework to solve NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) scheduling problem. This work is an extension of our original MILP…

Semidefinite programming (SDP) is widely acknowledged as one of the most effective methods for deriving the tightest lower bounds of the optimal power flow (OPF) problems. In this paper, an enhanced semidefinite relaxation model that…

When solving numerical constraints such as nonlinear equations and inequalities, solvers often exploit pruning techniques, which remove redundant value combinations from the domains of variables, at pruning steps. To find the complete…

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…

We study Nonpreemptive Peak Demand Minimization (NPDM) problem, where we are given a set of jobs, specified by their processing times and energy requirements. The goal is to schedule all jobs within a fixed time period such that the peak…

Network adaptation is essential for the efficient operation of Cloud-RANs. Unfortunately, it leads to highly intractable mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Existing solutions typically rely on convex relaxation, which yield…

Strict inequalities in mixed-integer linear optimization can cause difficulties in guaranteeing convergence and exactness. Utilizing that optimal vertex solutions follow a lattice structure we propose a rounding rule for strict inequalities…

Graph modification problems, which aim to find a small set of modifications to a graph so that it satisfies a desired property, have been studied for several special graph classes. The literature is rather rich in NP-completeness results…

Given a graph with positive and negative edge labels, the correlation clustering problem aims to cluster the nodes so to minimize the total number of between-cluster positive and within-cluster negative edges. This problem has many…

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…
