چکیده

The purpose of this paper is to construct a conical branch-and-bound algorithm for solving linear programming problems with an additional reverse convex constraint. We propose an inexpensive bound-tightening procedure, which is based on the surrogate relaxation. We show that this procedure considerably tightens lower bounds yielded by the usual linear programming relaxation. We also report numerical results, which indicate that the proposed algorithm is much promising, compared with existing ones.

A Conical Partition Algorithm for Maximizing the Sum of Several dc Ratios

In this paper, we consider the following problem: maxx∈D{ ∑m j=1 gj(x)/hj(x)}, where gj(x) ≥ 0 and hj (x) > 0, j = 1, · · · ,m are d.c. (difference of convex) functions over a convex compact set D in Rn. We reformulate it into a problem of maximizing a linear objective function over a feasible region defined by multiple reverse convex functions. Several favorable properties are presented and a ...

The following problem is considered in this paper : maxx∈D{∑mj=1 gj(x)/hj(x)}, where gj(x) ≥ 0 and hj(x) > 0, j = 1, · · · , m are d.c. (difference of convex) functions over a convex compact set D in R. Specifically, it is reformulated into the problem of maximizing a linear objective function over a feasible region defined by multiple reverse convex functions. Several favorable properties are ...

A convergent algorithm for solving linear programs with an additional reverse convex constraint

An inequality g{x) 2i 0 is often said to be a reverse convex constraint if the function g is continuous and convex. The feasible regions for linear program with an additional reverse convex constraint are generally non-convex and disconnected. In this paper a convergent algorithm for solving such a linear problem is proposed. The method is based upon a combination of the branch and bound proced...

Quadratic Outer Approximation for Convex Integer Programming

We present a quadratic outer approximation scheme for solving general convex integer programs, where suitable quadratic approximations are used to underestimate the objective function instead of classical linear approximations. As a resulting surrogate problem we consider the problem of minimizing a function given as the maximum of finitely many convex quadratic functions having the same Hessia...

An Interior Point Algorithm for Solving Convex Quadratic Semidefinite Optimization Problems Using a New Kernel Function

In this paper, we consider convex quadratic semidefinite optimization problems and provide a primal-dual Interior Point Method (IPM) based on a new kernel function with a trigonometric barrier term. Iteration complexity of the algorithm is analyzed using some easy to check and mild conditions. Although our proposed kernel function is neither a Self-Regular (SR) fun...
