In this paper, we mainly study one class of convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs) with non-differentiable data. By dropping the differentiability assumption, we substitute gradients with subgradients obtained from KKT…
In this work, we aim to compare different methods and formulations to solve a problem in air traffic management to global optimality. In particular, we focus on the aircraft deconfliction problem, where we are given n aircraft, their…
The Distance Geometry Problem (DGP) seeks to find positions for a set of points in geometric space when some distances between pairs of these points are known. The so-called discretization assumptions allow to discretize the search space of…
Our study is motivated by the solution of Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) problems with separable non-convex functions via the Sequential Convex MINLP technique, an iterative method whose main characteristic is that of solving,…
Mixed integer convex and nonlinear programs, MICP and MINLP, are expressive but require long solving times. Recent work that combines learning methods on solver heuristics has shown potential to overcome this issue allowing for applications…
This paper presents a novel outer approximation algorithm for nonsmooth mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. The method proceeds by fixing the integer variables and solving the resulting nonlinear convex subproblem. When…
Mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) are arguably among the hardest optimization problems, with a wide range of applications. MINLP solvers that are based on linear relaxations and spatial branching work similar as mixed integer…
Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems are encountered in modeling a physical/industrial process consisting both nonlinearity and discrete selective parameters. There are variety of algorithms for solving MINLP problems most…
The most important ingredient for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) to global epsilon-optimality with spatial branch and bound is a tight, computationally tractable relaxation. Due to both theoretical and practical…
In this paper, we mainly study one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs) with vector conic constraint in Banach spaces. Duality theory of convex vector optimization problems applied to this class of MINLPs is deeply…
High-level decision-making for dynamical systems often involves performance and safety specifications that are activated or deactivated depending on conditions related to the system state and commands. Such decision-making problems can be…
While mixed-integer linear programming and convex programming solvers have advanced significantly over the past several decades, solution technologies for general mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) have yet to reach the same level of…
Generalizing both mixed-integer linear optimization and convex optimization, mixed-integer convex optimization possesses broad modeling power but has seen relatively few advances in general-purpose solvers in recent years. In this paper, we…

It is well-known that parallel manipulators are prone to singularities. However, there is still a lack of distance evaluation functions, referred to as metrics, for computing the distance between two 3-RPR configurations. The proposed…
A linear program with linear complementarity constraints (LPCC) requires the minimization of a linear objective over a set of linear constraints together with additional linear complementarity constraints. This class has emerged as a…
We develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) approach for the classical Heilbronn triangle problem, demonstrating the capability of modern global optimization solvers to tackle challenging combinatorial geometry problems. A…
This paper provides necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for abstract constrained mathematical programming problems in locally convex spaces under new qualification conditions. Our approach exploits the geometrical properties of…
The minimum constraint removal problem seeks to find the minimum number of constraints, i.e., obstacles, that need to be removed to connect a start to a goal location with a collision-free path. This problem is NP-hard and has been studied…
We introduce multiple symmetric LP relaxations for minimum cut problems. The relaxations give optimal and approximate solutions when the input is a Hamiltonian cycle. We show that this leads to one of two interesting results. In one case,…
