We study a cutting-plane method for semidefinite optimization problems (SDOs), and supply a proof of the method's convergence, under a boundedness assumption. By relating the method's rate of convergence to an initial outer approximation's…
In this paper, by improving the variable-splitting approach, we propose a new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for the nonconvex quadratic optimization problem over the $\ell_1$ unit ball (QPL1). It dominates the state-of-the-art…
The nonlinear, non-convex AC Optimal Power Flow (AC-OPF) problem is fundamental for power systems operations. The intrinsic complexity of AC-OPF has fueled a growing interest in the development of optimization proxies for the problem, i.e.,…
This paper presents fast first-order methods for solving linear programs (LPs) approximately. We adapt online linear programming algorithms to offline LPs and obtain algorithms that avoid any matrix multiplication. We also introduce a…
In this work, we develop an adaptive, multivariate partitioning algorithm for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLP) with multi-linear terms to global optimality. This iterative algorithm primarily exploits the advantages of…
We consider a class of optimal power flow (OPF) applications where some loads offer a modulation service in exchange for an activation fee. These applications can be modeled as multi-period formulations of the OPF with discrete variables…
The Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) has gained significant attention across a broad spectrum of machine learning applications. Incorporating the over-relaxation technique shows potential for enhancing the convergence rate…
Given a linear ordering of the vertices of a graph, the cutwidth of a vertex $v$ with respect to this ordering is the number of edges from any vertex before $v$ (including $v$) to any vertex after $v$ in this ordering. The cutwidth of an…
Energy systems planning models identify least-cost strategies for expansion and operation of energy systems and provide decision support for investment, planning, regulation, and policy. Most are formulated as linear programming (LP) or…
We describe an efficient implementation of a recent simplex-type algorithm for the exact solution of separated continuous linear programs, and compare it with linear programming approximation of these problems obtained via discretization of…
Semidefinite relaxation techniques have shown great promise for nonconvex optimal power flow problems. However, a number of independent numerical experiments have led to concerns about scalability and robustness of existing SDP solvers. To…
Although neural networks have been applied to several systems in recent years, they still cannot be used in safety-critical systems due to the lack of efficient techniques to certify their robustness. A number of techniques based on convex…
We consider the NP-hard problem of minimizing a convex quadratic function over the integer lattice ${\bf Z}^n$. We present a simple semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for obtaining a nontrivial lower bound on the optimal value of the…
Cutting planes are essential for solving mixed-integer linear problems (MILPs), because they facilitate bound improvements on the optimal solution value. For selecting cuts, modern solvers rely on manually designed heuristics that are tuned…
An essential component in modern solvers for mixed-integer (linear) programs (MIPs) is the separation of additional inequalities (cutting planes) to tighten the linear programming relaxation. Various algorithmic decisions are necessary when…
