Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as mixed-integerlinear programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithmic framework to solve this class of optimization problems in a peer-to-peer network with no coordinator and with limited computation and communication capabilities. At each communication round, agents locally solve a small linear program, generate suitable cutting planes, and communicate a fixed number of active constraints. Within the distributed framework, we first propose an algorithm that, under the assumption of integer-valued optimal cost, guarantees finite-time convergence to an optimal solution. Second, we propose an algorithm for general problems that provides a suboptimal solution up to a given tolerance in a finite number of communication rounds. Both algorithms work under asynchronous, directed, unreliable networks. Finally, through numerical computations, we analyze the algorithm scalability in terms of the network size. Moreover, for a multi-agent multi-task assignment problem, we show, consistently with the theory, its robustness to packet loss.

Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as mixedintegerlinear Programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm to solve this class of optimization problems in a peer-to-peer network with no coordinator and with limited computation and communication capabilities. In the proposed algorithm, at each communication round, agents solve locally a small LP, generate suitable cutting planes, namely intersection cuts and cost-based cuts, and communicate a fixed number of active constraints, i.e., a candidate optimal basis. We prove that, if the cost is integer, the algorithm converges to the lexicographically minimal optimal solution in a finite number of communication rounds. Finally, through numerical computations, we analyze the algorithm convergence as a function of the network size.

We present a technique for obtaining the longest counterexample - the execution that stays in the unsafe set for the longest (not necessarily contiguous) time, for a safety specification of linear hybrid systems. Given that hybrid systems are infinite state systems, the number of counterexamples for safety violations are potentially infinite. Therefore, searching for the right counterexample is very challenging. We employ two frameworks for solving this problem: first is an mixedintegerlinear Program (MILP) formulation and second is to encode counterexamples using Satisfiability Module Theory (SMT) solvers. We evaluate these frameworks on several linear hybrid systems with up to 30 dimensions.

We propose an optimal design method for digital IIR filters with powers-of-two coefficients. This method is based upon the formulation of a linear optimization problem that minimizes the filter's complexity for given specifications. It is shown that by taking the logarithm to the transfer function of cascade-form IIR filters, the design problem becomes linear and can be solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Design examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper a functional vector generation method to maximize the data path coverage of a combinational circuit is introduced. We present a new gate model based on sensitization requirements for transition propagation, and introduce a new methodology to obtain functional vectors of maximum coverage based on mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Performance comparison and results based on a large set of MCNC'91 benchmark circuits are given. Experimental results show significant speedups over a greedy SAT method.

Optimization methods for long-horizon, dynamically feasible motion planning in robotics tackle challenging nonconvex and discontinuous optimization problems. Traditional methods often falter due to the nonlinear characteristics of these problems. We introduce a technique that utilizes learned representations of the system, known as Polytopic Action Sets, to efficiently compute long-horizon trajectories. By employing a suitable sequence of Polytopic Action Sets, we transform the long-horizon dynamically feasible motion planning problem into a linear Program. This reformulation enables us to address motion planning as a mixedintegerlinear Program (MILP). We demonstrate the effectiveness of a Polytopic Action-Set and Motion Planning (PAAMP) approach by identifying swing-up motions for a torque-constrained pendulum as fast as 0.75 milliseconds. This approach is well-suited for solving complex motion planning and long-horizon Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) in dynamic and underactuated systems such as legged and aerial robots.

Recent trends in process engineering have placed increased emphasis on the design of inherently clean and efficient processes. For example, a wide range of pinch analysis and mathematical programming methods have been developed for designing schemes for water reuse/recycle in industrial plants for both grassroot design and plant retrofit. In the latter case, the conventional approach is to maximize water recovery and thereby minimize fresh water demand and effluent volume. However, it is possible that with such an approach the reductions in environmental impact brought about by saving water can be offset by other impacts arising from increased use of energy and materials in the plant after retrofit. This work presents a model for minimizing the total resource consumption impact of a water reuse/recycle network. The total impact is expressed in terms of emergy - a measure of cumulative solar energy inputs into a life cycle system. A simplified model is proposed that focuses on the impact contributions of water, electrical power and material for capital goods. Two case studies illustrate the approach. Results show that the network with the lowest total impact can be found by sacrificing water recovery for savings in energy and material use.

This paper describes parallel processor architecture for a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) solver to realize motion planning and hybrid system control in robot applications. It features pipeline architecture with an MILP-specific configuration and two-port SRAM. Based on the architecture, both FPGA and VLSI implementations have been done to solve sample problems including 16 variables. The FPGA implementation can reduce the power consumption to 13 W: an 85.4% reduction compared to a 3.0-GHz processor (Pentium 4; Intel Corp.). The VLSI solver further reduces the power to 6.4 W using 0.18-μm CMOS technology.

This paper delves into the optimization and economic benefits of wind-solar energy storage systems in park microgrids. By constructing and refining multiple mathematical models, the study provides scientific decision support for system configuration, aiming to meet the increasing demand for load and enhance overall economic benefits. Firstly, the paper proposes the Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Coordination Optimization Model (PCSO-Model), which combines mixed integer linear programming (MILP) with Monte Carlo simulation, effectively reducing the total supply cost of the park. Subsequently, considering the aging effect of energy storage systems, load forecasting errors at different time scales, and the impact of electricity price fluctuations on economic viability, the PCSO model is improved and solved using an improved genetic algorithm. Simulation and optimization results demonstrate that the introduction of energy storage systems reduces costs by approximately 10

The authors propose a new model for dynamic traffic assignment, modeling the traffic system by a mixedintegerlinear program solvable in finite time. The model represents link travel times, which must be the same for all vehicles which enter a link together during a single time period by means of 0-1 integer variables. Given the values of these variables, the problem is to assign traffic, modeled as multiperiod multicommodity flow, subject to constraints on capacity implied by the link travel times. An optimal solution to the model gives the vehicle routings corresponding to minimum total travel time, achieving the most efficient use of road capacity. The solution gives unambiguous link travel times as a function of time of entry to the link, suitable for individual route optimization if all but a small priority class of traffic accepts the system-optimal routing.< >
