Variant of the Buchberger Algorithm for Integer Programming

چکیده
In this paper we modify Buchberger's 5-pair reduction algorithm for computing a Gröbner basis of a toric ideal so as to apply to an integer program in inequality form with fixed right hand sides and fixed upper bounds on the variables. We formulate the algorithm in the original space and interpret the reduction steps geometrically. In fact, three variants of this algorithm are presented and we give elementary proofs for their correctness. A relationship between these (exact) algorithms, iterative improvement heuristics and the Kernighan-Lin procedure is established.

A Variant of the Buchberger Algorithm for Integer Programming
In this paper we modify Buchberger’s S-pair reduction algorithm for computing a Gröbner basis of a toric ideal so as to apply to an integer program in inequality form with fixed right hand sides and fixed upper bounds on the variables. We formulate the algorithm in the original space and interpret the reduction steps geometrically. In fact, three variants of this algorithm are presented and we ...
متن کاملA generalized implicit enumeration algorithm for a class of integer nonlinear programming problems
Presented here is a generalization of the implicit enumeration algorithm that can be applied when the objec-tive function is being maximized and can be rewritten as the difference of two non-decreasing functions. Also developed is a computational algorithm, named linear speedup, to use whatever explicit linear constraints are present to speedup the search for a solution. The method is easy to u...
متن کاملMinimised Geometric Buchberger Algorithm for Integer Programming
Recently, various algebraic integer programming (IP) solvers have been proposed based on the theory of Gröbner bases. The main difficulty of these solvers is the size of the Gröbner bases generated. In algorithms proposed so far, large Gröbner bases are generated by either introducing additional variables or by considering the generic IP problem IPA,C . Some improvements have been proposed such...
متن کاملA Non-linear Integer Bi-level Programming Model for Competitive Facility Location of Distribution Centers
The facility location problem is a strategic decision-making for a supply chain, which determines the profitability and sustainability of its components. This paper deals with a scenario where two supply chains, consisting of a producer, a number of distribution centers and several retailers provided with similar products, compete to maintain their market shares by opening new distribution cent...
متن کاملAn Integer Programming Model and a Tabu Search Algorithm to Generate α-labeling of Special Classes of Quadratic Graphs
First, an integer programming model is proposed to find an α-labeling for quadratic graphs. Then, a Tabu search algorithm is developed to solve large scale problems. The proposed approach can generate α-labeling for special classes of quadratic graphs, not previously reported in the literature. Then, the main theorem of the paper is presented. We show how a problem in graph theory c...
