Doubly nonnegative (DNN) relaxation usually provides a tight lower bound for a mixed-binary quadratic program (MBQP). However, solving DNN problems is challenging because: (1) the problem size is $\Omega((n+l)^2)$ for an MBQP with $n$…

To facilitate efficient embedded and hardware implementations of deep neural networks (DNNs), two important categories of DNN model compression techniques: weight pruning and weight quantization are investigated. The former leverages the…

Alternating direction methods of multipliers (ADMMs) are popular approaches to handle large scale semidefinite programs that gained attention during the past decade. In this paper, we focus on solving doubly nonnegative programs (DNN),…

The 0/1 D-optimality problem and the Maximum-Entropy Sampling problem are two well-known NP-hard discrete maximization problems in experimental design. Algorithms for exact optimization (of moderate-sized instances) are based on…

The electrical network reconfiguration problem aims to minimize losses in a distribution system by adjusting switches while ensuring radial topology. The growing use of renewable energy and the complexity of managing modern power grids make…

The presence of integer variables in the European day-ahead electricity market renders the social welfare maximization problem non-convex and non-differentiable, making classical marginal pricing theoretically inconsistent. Existing pricing…

The ongoing decarbonisation of power systems is driving an increasing reliance on distributed energy resources, which introduces complex and nonlinear interactions that are difficult to capture in conventional optimisation models. As a…

Semidefinite programs (SDPs) can be solved in polynomial time by interior point methods. However, when the dimension of the problem gets large, interior point methods become impractical in terms of both computational time and memory…

Doubly nonnegative (DNN) programming problems are known to be challenging to solve because of their huge number of $\Omega(n^2)$ constraints and $\Omega(n^2)$ variables. In this work, we introduce RNNAL, a method for solving DNN relaxations…

With the addition of large numbers of distributed energy resources (DERs) to distribution networks comes the increasing risk that their operation may violate the safety constraints of these networks. The problem considered in this paper is…

We present a systematic weight pruning framework of deep neural networks (DNNs) using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We first formulate the weight pruning problem of DNNs as a constrained nonconvex optimization…

Linear programming (LP) relaxations are widely employed in exact solution methods for multilinear programs (MLP). One example is the family of Recursive McCormick Linearization (RML) strategies, where bilinear products are substituted for…

Weight pruning methods for deep neural networks (DNNs) have been investigated recently, but prior work in this area is mainly heuristic, iterative pruning, thereby lacking guarantees on the weight reduction ratio and convergence time. To…
