Symmetry is mainly exploited in mathematical programming in order to reduce the computation times of enumerative algorithms. The most widespread approach rests on: (a) finding symmetries in the problem instance; (b) reformulating the problem so that it does not allow some of the symmetric optima; (c) solving the modified problem. Sometimes (b) and (c) are performed concurrently: the solution al...

Collection of waste is an important logistic activity within any city. In this study, a mathematical model is proposed in order to reduce the cost of waste collection. First a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is provided including a waste collection routing problem, so that, there is a balance between the distance between trashcans, and the similarity of the trashcans in terms of th...

this paper uses the weighted l$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. when all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. in each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...

A conic integer program is an integer programming problem with conic constraints. Many problems in finance, engineering, statistical learning, and probabilistic optimization are modeled using conic constraints. Here we study mixed-integer sets defined by second-order conic constraints. We introduce general-purpose cuts for conic mixed-integer programming based on polyhedral conic substructures ...

This paper presents a review of past and present results approaches in the area motion planning using MIP (Mixed-integer Programming). Although early 2000s was still seen with reluctance as method for solving planning-related problems, nowadays, due to increases computational power theoretical advances, its extensive modeling capabilities versatility are coming fore enjoy increased application ...
