This paper addresses a General Linear Complementarity Problem (GLCP) that has found applications in global optimization. It is shown that a solution of the GLCP can be computed by finding a stationary point of a differentiable function over a set defined by simple bounds on the variables. The application of this result to the solution of bilinear programs and LCPs is discussed. Some computational evidence of its usefulness is included in the last part of the paper.

bilinear programming problems (BLP) are subsets of nonconvex quadratic programs and can be classified as strongly NP-Hard. The exact methods to solve the BLPs are inefficient for large instances and only a few heuristic methods exist. In this study, we propose two metaheuristic methods, one is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the other is based on simulated annealing (SA). Both of the proposed approaches take advantage of the bilinear structure of the problem. For the PSO-based method, a search variable, which is selected among the variable sets causing bilinearity, is subjected to particle swarm optimization. The SA-based procedure incorporates a variable neighborhood scheme. The pooling problem, which has several application areas in chemical industry and formulated as a BLP, is selected as a test bed to analyze the performances. Extensive experiments are conducted and they indicate the success of the proposed solution methods.

Li and Yang [D.F. Li and J. Yang, A difference-index based ranking bilinear programming approach to solving bimatrix games with payoffs of trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, Journal of Applied Mathematics 2013 (2013), 1-10] pointed out that there is no method in the literature for solving such bimatrix games in which payoffs are represented by intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and proposed a method for the same. In this paper, it is pointed out that Li and Yang have considered some mathematical incorrect assumptions in their proposed method. For resolving the shortcomings of Li and Yang's method, a new method (named as Mehar method) is proposed. Also, the exact optimal solution of the numerical problem, solved by Li and Yang by their proposed method, is obtained by the proposed Mehar method.

We consider geometric problems in which rectangles have to be packed into (identical) squares. These problems turn out to be very hard in practice, and ILP formulations in which variables specify the coordinates in the packing perform very poorly. While most methods developed so far are based on simple geometric considerations, a recent landmark result of Fekete and Schepers suggests to put these geometric aspects aside and use the most advanced tools for the one-dimensional case. In this paper we make additional progress in this direction, especially on the basic question "Does a given set of rectangles fit into a square?", which turns out to be the bottleneck of all the approaches known. Given a set of rectangles and the associated convex hull of rectangle subsets that fit into a square, we derive a wide class of valid inequalities for this convex hull from a complete description of the two knapsack polytopes associated with the widths and the heights of the rectangles, respectively. In addition, we illustrate how to solve the associated separation problem as a bilinear program, for which we develop a solution method that turns out to be fast in practice, and show that the integer solutions that satisfy all these constraints generally correspond to vertices of the original convex hull for the benchmark instances in the literature. The same tools are used to derive lower bounds for the two-dimensional bin packing problem, corresponding to the determination of an optimal pair of so-called dual feasible functions. These lower bounds in many cases equal those obtained by the customary set covering formulation (for which column generation is very hard), but are computable within a time that is smaller by some orders of magnitude. This allows us to close a few of the benchmark instances in the literature.

A bilinear programming problem with uncoupled variables is considered. First, a special technique for generating test bilinear problems is considered. Approximate algorithms for local and global search are proposed. Asymptotic convergence of these algorithms is analyzed, and stopping rules are proposed. In conclusion, numerical results for randomly generated bilinear problems are presented and analyzed.

In this letter, we design a novel PI-like output feedback tracking controller for linear systems subject to state and input constraints. The proposed solution exploits the internal model principle to design via robust positive invariance and the Extended Farkas' Lemma, a constrained set-point tracking controller. The considered polyhedral setup results in a bilinear optimization design problem that can be solved offline, allowing to simultaneously determine the sets of admissible set-points and plant's initial conditions. The proposed solution guarantees asymptotic offset-free set-point tracking, local stability, and constraints fulfillment. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed design and contrast it with an alternative scheme.

A finite algorithm is presented in this study for solving bilinear programs. This is accomplished by developing a suitable cutting plane which deletes at least a face of a polyhedral set. At an extreme point, a polar cut using negative edge extensions is used. At other points, disjunctive cuts are adopted. Computational experience on test problems in the literature is provided.

The evolution of the bilinear programming problem is reviewed and a new, more general model is discussed. The model involves two decision vectors and reduces to a linear program when one of the decision vectors is fixed. The class of problems under consideration contains traditional bilinear programs, general quadratic programs, and bilinearly constrained and quadratically constrained extensions of these problems. We describe how several important applications from the literature, including the multiple modular design problem, can be modeled as generalized bilinear programs. Finally, we derive a linear programming relaxation that can be used as a subproblem in algorithmic solution schemes based on outer approximation and branch and bound.

In this paper we analyze a model which arises from considering manure and fertilizer aspects in the farm management modelling for cattle husbandry. Modelling these aspects may lead to a multi-extremal problem with bilinear terms. Solution techniques for this problem are discussed and a specific branch and bound procedure is outlined. An example illustrates the multi-extremal structure of the problem and the solution methods mentioned.
