Strong-branching inequalities for convex mixed integer nonlinear programs
Strong branching is an effective branching technique that can significantly reduce the size of the branch-and-bound tree for solving Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems. The focus of this paper is to demonstrate how to effectively use “discarded” information from strong branching to strengthen relaxations of MINLP problems. Valid inequalities such as branching-based linearizati...
متن کاملGap inequalities for non-convex mixed-integer quadratic programs
Laurent and Poljak introduced a very general class of valid linear inequalities, called gap inequalities, for the max-cut problem. We show that an analogous class of inequalities can be defined for general nonconvex mixed-integer quadratic programs. These inequalities dominate some inequalities arising from a natural semidefinite relaxation.
متن کاملAn algorithmic framework for convex mixed integer nonlinear programs
This paper is motivated by the fact that mixed integer nonlinear programming is an important and difficult area for which there is a need for developing new methods and software for solving large-scale problems. Moreover, both fundamental building blocks, namely mixed integer linear programming and nonlinear programming, have seen considerable and steady progress in recent years. Wishing to exp...
متن کاملAlgorithms and Software for Convex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programs
This paper provides a survey of recent progress and software for solving convex mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLP)s, where the objective and constraints are defined by convex functions and integrality restrictions are imposed on a subset of the decision variables. Convex MINLPs have received sustained attention in recent years. By exploiting analogies to well-known techniques for solving ...
متن کاملImproved quadratic cuts for convex mixed-integer nonlinear programs
This paper presents scaled quadratic cuts based on scaling the second-order Taylor expansion terms for the decomposition methods Outer Approximation (OA) and Partial Surrogate Cuts (PSC) used for solving convex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programing (MINLP). The scaled quadratic cut is proved to be a stricter and tighter underestimation for the convex nonlinear functions than the classical supporti...
