A simple and efficient technique for solving integer-programming problems that normally arise in system-reliability design, is introduced. The algorithm is based on functional evaluations and a limited search close to the boundary of resources. Our experience shows that it is fast to solve even a very large system problem. We believe that it can be effectively used with other general integer programming or Zero-One programming problems from the operations research area.

An algorithm for enumerating all nondominated vectors of multiple objective integer linear programs is presented. The method tests different regions where candidates can be found using an auxiliary binary problem for tracking the regions already explored. An experimental comparision with our previous efforts shows the method has relatively good time performance.

We designed and implemented an algorithm to solve the continuos right hand side multiparametric Integer Linear programming (ILP) problem, that is to solve a family of ILP problems in which the problems are related by having identical objective and matrix coefficients. Our algorithm works by choosing an appropriate finite sequence of nonparametric Mixed Integer Linear programming (MILP) problems in order to obtain a complete multiparametrical analysis. The algorithm may be implemented by using any software capable of solving MILP problems. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

We review various relaxations of (0,1)-quadratic programming problems. These include semidefinite programs, parametric trust region problems and concave quadratic maximization. All relaxations that we consider lead to efficiently solvable problems. The main contributions of the paper are the following. Using Lagrangian duality, we prove equivalence of the relaxations in a unified and simple way. Some of these equivalences have been known previously, but our approach leads to short and transparent proofs. Moreover we extend the approach to the case of equality constrained problems by taking the squared linear constraints into the objective function. We show how this technique can be applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem, the Graph Partition Problem and the Max-Clique Problem. Finally we show our relaxation to be best possible among all quadratic majorants with zero trace.

In this paper, we will consider the computation of objective function values when a nondominated frontier is searched in multiple objective quadratic-linear programming (MOQLP). Reference directions and weighted-sums constitute a methodological basis for the search. This idea leads to a parametric linear complementarity model formulation. A critical task of making a search procedure efficient, is to compute the changes in quadratic and linear objective functions efficiently when a search direction is changed or a basis change is performed, Those changes in objective functions can be computed by a so-called direct or indirect method. The direct method is a straightforward one and based on the use of unit changes in basic decision variables. Instead, the indirect method utilizes some other basic variables of the model. We will introduce the indirect method and make theoretical and empirical comparisons between the methods. Based on the comparisons, we point out that the indirect method is clearly much more efficient than the direct one. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

This paper describes two new, mathematical programming-based approaches for evaluating general, one- and two-sided, p-variate normal probabilities where the variance-covariance matrix (of arbitrary structure) is singular with rank r(r < p), and r and p can be of unlimited dimensions. In both cases, principal components are used to transform the original, ill-defined, p-dimensional integral into a well-defined, r-dimensional integral over a convex polyhedron. The first algorithm that is presented uses linear programming coupled with a Gauss-Legendre quadrature scheme to compute this integral, while the second algorithm uses multi-parametric programming techniques in order to significantly reduce the number of optimization problems that need to be solved. The application of the algorithms is demonstrated and aspects of computational performance are discussed through a number of examples, ranging from a practical problem that arises in chemical engineering to larger, numerical examples.

In this paper, we consider a mixed-integer bi-level linear programming (or a leader's) problem with one parameter in the right-hand side of the constraints in the lower level (or a follower's) problem. Motivated by the application to a natural yes cash-out problem, we consider a particular case that consists in minimizing the cash-out penalty costs for a natural gas shipping company. The functions are linear at both levels, and the proposed algorithm, is based upon an approximation of the optimal value function using the branch-and-bound method. Therefore, at every node of this branch-and-bound structure, we apply a new branch-and-bound technique to process the integrality condition.

详细信息
Optimal control problems for constrained linear systems with a linear cost can be posed as multiparametric linear programs (mpLPs) with a parameter in the cost, or equivalently the right-hand side of the constraints, and solved explicitly offline. Degeneracy occurs when the control input, or optimiser, is non-unique, which can cause chattering of the control input and overlap of the polyhedral regions of the explicit solution. This paper introduces a new and efficient approach to the computation of the solution to a degenerate mpLP with the parameter in the cost. Rather than solve the degenerate problem directly, we solve a lexicographically (symbolically) perturbed version of it that is guaranteed to be non-degenerate. We show that every optimal solution of the perturbed problem is an optimal solution to the original and that the perturbed solution is continuous, unique and defined over a set of non-overlapping polyhedral regions. Furthermore, we introduce a new method for computing the optimal solution in an adjacent region, which is very efficient in all cases and reduces to a single simplex pivot for non-degenerate regions. The proposed algorithm is particularly suited for the calculation of the explicit solution to a class of constrained optimal control problems, since it ensures that the control input is everywhere continuous and unique, thereby removing the danger of chattering in problems with linear costs. The algorithm is compared through example to existing proposals and a significant complexity improvement is demonstrated. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In many decentralized organizations, resource planning with sequential decision making can be formulated as a multi-level programming problem. In such cases, the decision variables are partitioned among the decision makers. Each of the decision makers optimizes his/her own objective function. This paper presents an algorithm using parametric analysis to solve a typical kind of nonlinear integer multilevel programming problems, called separable integer monotone bilevel programming (SIMBP), and then extends the algorithm for solving a parametric SIMBP problem. A numerical example with application of reliability optimization is given to illustrate the solution method.
