Random forests are among the most famous algorithms for solving classification problems, in particular for large-scale data sets. Considering a set of labeled points and several decision trees, the method takes the majority vote to classify a new given point. In some scenarios, however, labels are only accessible for a proper subset of the given points. Moreover, this subset can be non-representative, e.g., due to collection bias. Semi-supervised learning considers the setting of labeled and unlabeled data and often improves the reliability of the results. In addition, it can be possible to obtain additional information about class sizes from undisclosed sources. We propose a mixed-integer linear optimization model for computing a semi-supervised random forest that covers the setting of labeled and unlabeled data points as well as the overall number of points in each class for a binary classification. Since the solution time rapidly grows as the number of variables increases, we present some problem-tailored preprocessing techniques and an intuitive branching rule. Our numerical results show that our approach leads to better accuracy and a better Matthews correlation coefficient for biased samples compared to random forests by majority vote, even if only a few labeled points are available.

Aim To identify optimal combination(s) of proteomic based biomarkers in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from chronic periodontitis (CP) and periodontally healthy individuals and validate the predictions through known and blind test sets. Materials and Methods GCF samples were collected from 96 CP and periodontally healthy subjects and analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry and the PILOT_PROTEIN algorithm. A mixed-integer linear optimization (MILP) model was then developed to identify the optimal combination of biomarkers which could clearly distinguish a blind subject sample as healthy or diseased. Results A thorough cross-validation of the MILP model capability was performed on a training set of 55 samples and greater than 99% accuracy was consistently achieved when annotating the testing set samples as healthy or diseased. The model was then trained on all 55 samples and tested on two different blind test sets, and using an optimal combination of 7 human proteins and 3 bacterial proteins, the model was able to correctly predict 40 out of 41 healthy and diseased samples. Conclusions The proposed large-scale proteomic analysis and MILP model led to the identification of novel combinations of biomarkers for consistent diagnosis of periodontal status with greater than 95% predictive accuracy.

A mixed-integer linear optimization model is developed to support the decision making for the sustainable use of energy in the local area. It details exploitation of primary energy sources, electrical and thermal generation, end-use sectors and emissions. The model covers both the energy demand and energy supply sides, and can provide valuable information both on the technical options, and on the possible policy measures. By aiming to realize a low-carbon energy system, the proposed optimization process provides feasible generation settlements between utility grid and distributed generations, as well as optimal diffusion of energy efficiency technologies. Moreover, the mathematical methods for solving the developed model are discussed. The focus is paid on the general solution method for mixed-integer linear optimization model including simplex algorithm and branch-and-bound algorithm. By using the suggested solution methods, the local energy system optimization problem is expected to be resolved in a reasonable time with enough precision.

To facilitate sustainability by extending the life-cycle and residual value of production materials, a collaborate scheduling scheme for closed-loop manufacturing system with disturbance uncertainty is studied. Based on the features of the closed-loop manufacturing system under multi-product and multi-period scenarios, a mixedintegerlinearoptimization model is developed, where manufacturing and remanufacturing units are coordinated by recycling the production materials from work-in-process and final products. Based on this, a novel closed-loop manufacturing-remanufacturing scheduling framework is proposed. Additionally, in response to variations in product quality and processing capabilities, a scenario-based chance-constrained programming is introduced to address potential sources of uncertainty. Subsequently, a sequential optimization method is devised to reduce computational complexity. Finally, an industrial case from the electronic factory is investigated to demonstrate its applicability by implementing the proposed approach with comparison to several other strategies.

This paper proposes a computationally efficient methodology for the optimal location and sizing of static and switched shunt capacitors in radial distribution systems. The problem is formulated as the maximization of the savings produced by the reduction in energy losses and the avoided costs due to investment deferral in the expansion of the network. The proposed method selects the nodes to be compensated, as well as the optimal capacitor ratings and their operational characteristics, i.e. fixed or switched. After an appropriate linearization, the optimization problem was formulated as a mixed-integerlinear problem, suitable for being solved by means of a widespread commercial package. Results of the proposed optimizing method are compared with another recent methodology reported in the literature using two test cases: a 15-bus and a 33-bus distribution network. For the both case's tested, the proposed methodology delivers better solutions indicated by higher loss savings, which are achieved with lower amounts of capacitive compensation. To calculate the energy savings and the deferral investment cost exactly, a load flow for radial distribution network is executed before and after the compensation. The proposed method has also been applied for compensating to an actual radial distribution network served by AES-Venezuela in the metropolitan area of Caracas. A convergence time of about 4 s after 22,298 iterations demonstrates the ability of the proposed methodology for efficiently handling compensation problems. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

In radiation therapy planning, uncertainties in the definition of the target volume yield a risk of underdosing the tumor. The traditional corrective action in the context of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) expands the clinical target volume (CTV) with an isotropic margin to obtain the planning target volume (PTV). However, the EBRT-based PTV concept is not directly applicable to brachytherapy (BT) since it can lead to undesirable dose escalation. Here, we present a treatment plan optimization model that uses worst-case robust optimization to account for delineation uncertainties in interstitial high-dose-rate BT of the prostate. A scenario-based method was developed that handles uncertainties in index sets. Heuristics were included to reduce the calculation times to acceptable proportions. The approach was extended to account for delineation uncertainties of an organ at risk (OAR) as well. The method was applied on data from prostate cancer patients and evaluated in terms of commonly used dosimetric performance criteria for the CTV and relevant OARs. The robust optimization approach was compared against the classical PTV margin concept and against a scenario-based CTV margin approach. The results show that the scenario-based margin and the robust optimization method are capable of reducing the risk of underdosage to the tumor. As expected, the scenario-based CTV margin approach leads to dose escalation within the target, whereas this can be prevented with the robust model. For cases where rectum sparing was a binding restriction, including uncertainties in rectum delineation in the planning model led to a reduced risk of a rectum overdose, and in some cases, to reduced target coverage.

We consider adjustable robust linear complementarity problems and extend the results of Biefel et al. (SIAM J Optim 32:152-172, 2022) towards convex and compact uncertainty sets. Moreover, for the case of polyhedral uncertainty sets, we prove that computing an adjustable robust solution of a given linear complementarity problem is equivalent to solving a properly chosen mixed-integerlinear feasibility problem.

Municipal activities play an important role in national and global CO2-emission reduction efforts, with Nordic countries at the forefront thanks to their energy planning tradition and high penetration of renewable energy sources. In this work, we present a case study of the Danish municipality of Sonderborg, whose aim is to reach zero net CO2 emissions by 2029. Sonderborg has an official strategic plan towards 2029, which we compared with four alternative scenarios to investigate how the municipality could approach its target in the most energy-efficient and cost-effective way while simultaneously keeping biomass and waste consumption close to the limits of the locally available residual resources. We modelled all sectors of the energy system on the municipal scale, applying a broad range of energy conversion technologies, including advanced biomass conversion technologies and reversible electrolysis. We constructed five scenarios, each representing a different energy mix for Sonderborg's energy system in 2029. We modelled these scenarios using the mixed-integer linear optimization tool Sifre. We compared the results for the five scenarios using four indicators: annual total system cost, total energy system efficiency, annual net system CO2 emissions and total annual biomass consumption. The results show that scenarios with a high degree of electrification perform better on the selected indicators than scenarios with a high degree of biomass utilization. Moreover, the incorporation of advanced conversion technologies such as electrolysis, fuel cells and methanol production further reduces both the total system cost and net CO2 of the highly electrified energy system. Our sensitivity analysis demonstrates that scenarios with a low biomass consumption and a high degree of electrification are less dependent on changes in energy prices. We conclude that in order to achieve their CO2 emission goals in the most energy-efficient, cost-effective and sustainable way, municip

We study the transient optimization of gas transport networks including both discrete controls due to switching of controllable elements and nonlinear fluid dynamics described by the system of isothermal Euler equations, which are partial differential equations in time and 1-dimensional space. This combination leads to mixed-integeroptimization problems subject to nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations on a graph. We propose an instantaneous control approach in which suitable Euler discretizations yield systems of ordinary differential equations on a graph. This networked system of ordinary differential equations is shown to be well-posed and affine-linear solutions of these systems are derived analytically. As a consequence, finite-dimensional mixed-integer linear optimization problems are obtained for every time step that can be solved to global optimality using general-purpose solvers. We illustrate our approach in practice by presenting numerical results on a realistic gas transport network.

Feasibility pumps are highly effective primal heuristics for mixed-integerlinear and nonlinearoptimization. However, despite their success in practice there are only a few works considering their theoretical properties. We show that feasibility pumps can be seen as alternating direction methods applied to special reformulations of the original problem, inheriting the convergence theory of these methods. Moreover, we propose a novel penalty framework that encompasses this alternating direction method, which allows us to refrain from random perturbations that are applied in standard versions of feasibility pumps in case of failure. We present a convergence theory for the new penalty based alternating direction method and compare the new variant of the feasibility pump with existing versions in an extensive numerical study for mixed-integerlinear and nonlinear problems.
