Mixed integer Programs are a class of optimization problems which have a vast range of applications in engineering, business, science, health care, and other areas. For many applications, however, problems of realistic size can take a an impractical amount of time to solve on a single workstation. However, using parallel computing resources to solve MIP is difficult, as parallelizing the standard branch-and-bound framework presents an array of challenges. In this paper we present a novel framework called a Parallel Macro Partitioning (PMaP) framework for solving mixed integer programs in parallel. the framework exploit ideas from modern MIP heuristics to partition the problem at a high-level into MIP subproblems, each of which can be solved on a separate processor by an MIP algorithm. Initial computational resources suggest that PMaP has significant promise as a framework capable of bringing many processors to bear effectively on difficult problems.

Although combinatorial double auctions can improve the efficiency of trading goods between buyers and sellers, several issues of combinatorial double auctions are not addressed. For example, an auction mediator usually charges transaction costs to the winners of combinatorial double auctions. Furthermore, a seller may submit multiple bids, but all the winning bids submitted by a seller cannot exceed the available items. these factors are not taken into account in existing literature. In this paper, we study combinatorial double auction problem with transaction costs and supply constraints. We formulate the combinatorial double auction problem and propose an algorithm for finding near optimal solutions. combinatorial double auctions are notoriously difficult to solve from a computational point of view. To reduce computational complexity, we propose an efficient method by decomposing the combinatorial double auction problem into several buyers' subproblems and sellers' subproblems and applying the subgradient algorithm to iteratively adjust the shadow prices and a heuristic algorithm to find a near-optimal solution. the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is also demonstrated by a numerical example.

High penetration of renewable resources will increase the risk of overloading transmission lines and the difficulty of controlling transmission grid in a safe operation. In this paper, a model for transmission capacity margin assessment (TCMA) is established to quantify the transmission security with uncertain wind generation. the basic formulation is reformulated as a two-stage non-differentiable programming model. It can be transformed into a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) by duality theory and specific linearization techniques. Furthermore, an effective procedure is developed to improve the transmission capacity margin by necessary wind curtailment. A detailed case study is performed on the IEEE 31-bus system and numerical results verify the effectiveness of this TCMA framework.

Edge computing provides users with computing resources and storage capacity by deploying edge servers around users. Existing edge data caching researches mainly focused on minimizing users' access latency and maximizing service providers' revenue. In this paper, this QEDC problem is addressed from the service provider's point of view. Firstly, this QoE-oriented Edge Data Caching(QEDC) problem is modeled as a combinatorialoptimization problem. Users' QoE achieves maximization while satisfying a constraint for service providers' cache budget, and its NP-hardness is proved. Secondly, an edge data fusion method is introduced which is more suitable for real environment and the calculation method of data popularity. In addition, all approach named QEDC-IP is provided based on integerprogramming to tackle this QEDC problem. Finally, a large number of experiments are conducted by using a mixture of real-world datasets, and the results verify the performance of QEDC-IP approach by comparing it with five representative approaches in data caching.

Kondo et al. (DS 2014) proposed integer linear programming formulations for computing the tree edit distance and its variants between unordered rooted trees. they showed that the tree edit distance, segmental distance, and bottom-up segmental distance problems respectively have integer linear programming formulations with O(nm) variables and O(n(2) m(2)) constraints, where n and m are the number of nodes of two input trees. In this work, we propose new integer linear programming formulations for these three distances and the bottom-up distance by combining with dynamic programming. For computing the tree edit distance, we solve O(nm) subproblems, each of which is formulated by an integer linear program with O(nm) variables and O(n + m) constraints. For the other three distances, each subproblem can be reduced to the maximum weight matching problem in a bipartite graph which is solvable in polynomial time. In order to compute the distances from the solutions of subproblems, we also give a unified integer linear formulation with O(nm) variables and O(n + m) constraints. We conducted a computational experiment to evaluate the performance of our methods. the experimental results show that our methods remarkably outperformed to the previous methods due to Kondo et al.

the reformulation-linearization technique (RLT) is a prominent approach to constructing tight linear relaxations of non-convex continuous and mixed-integeroptimization problems. the goal of this paper is to extend the applicability and improve the performance of RLT for bilinear product relations. First, a method for detecting bilinear product relations implicitly contained in mixed-integer linear programs is developed based on analyzing linear constraints with binary variables, thus enabling the application of bilinear RLT to a new class of problems. Our second contribution addresses the high computational cost of RLT cut separation, which presents one of the major difficulties in applying RLT efficiently in practice. We propose a new RLT cutting plane separation algorithm which identifies combinations of linear constraints and bound factors that are expected to yield an inequality that is violated by the current relaxation solution. A detailed computational study based on implementations in two solvers evaluates the performance impact of the proposed methods.

Scheduling problems in the forest industry have received significant attention in the recent years and have contributed many challenging applications for optimization technologies. this paper proposes a solution method based on constraint programming and mathematical programming for a log-truck scheduling problem. the problem consists of scheduling the transportation of logs between forest areas and woodmills, as well as routing the fleet of vehicles to satisfy these transportation requests. the objective is to minimize the total cost of the non-productive activities such as the waiting time of trucks and forest log-loaders and the empty driven distance of vehicles. We propose a constraint programming model to address the combined scheduling and routing problem and an integerprogramming model to deal withthe optimization of deadheads. Both of these models are combined through the exchange of global constraints. Finally the whole approach is validated on real industrial data.

the classical logistics facility location models seldom lay emphasis on time, which is a critical issue for a company to gain its competitive advantage nowadays. Some scholars study maximal covering location problem based on time-satisfaction, but most of them have not taken the consumption of time cost into account. this paper presents a new location model which incorporates time cost compared with previous approaches of time satisfaction. the model is initially developed based on the integerprogramming, whose objective function is subject to the maximization of total satisfaction and the minimization of total cost. Finally, it makes precise analysis taking the case of a regional network layout optimization. the computational result proves the feasibility and value of this model in its practical application.
