The beauty of linear programming theory arises from linear programming duality that provides a short certificate that a given pair of primal and dual feasible solutions are optimal. One of the central fundaments of this duality result is the so-called Farkas Lemma that establishes that a given system of linear inequalities has a solution if and only if another system of linear inequalities is i...

Mixed-integer conic programming is a generalization of mixed-integer linear programming. In this paper, we present an extension of the duality theory for mixed-integer linear programming (see [4], [11]) to the case of mixed-integer conic programming. In particular, we construct a subadditive dual for mixed-integer conic programming problems. Under a simple condition on the primal problem, we ar...

An algorithm for solving linear programming problems can be used as a subroutine in methods for more complicated problems. Such methods usually involve solving a sequence of related linear programming problems, where the solution to one linear program is close to the solution to the next, that is, it provides a warm start for the next linear program. The branch and cut method for solving intege...

Maximal covering problem (MCP) is classified as a linear integer optimization problem which can be effectively solved by integer programming technique. However, as the problem size grows, integer programming requires excessive time to get an optimal solution. This paper suggests a method for applying integer programming-based local search (IPbLS) to solve large-scale maximal covering problems. ...

in this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. the constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. the first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...
