We present ***, a package for optimizing a linear function over the efficient set of biobjectivemixedintegerlinear programs. The proposed package extends our recent study (see Sierra-Altamiranda and Charkhgard [INFORMS Journal on Computing, https://***/10.1287/ijoc.2018.0851]) by adding two main features: (a) in addition to CPLEX, the package allows employing any single-objective solver supported by ***, for example, GLPK, CPLEX, and SCIP;(b) the package supports execution on multiple processors and is compatible with the JuMP modeling language. An extensive computational study shows the efficacy of the package and its features.

We study the connection between biobjective mixed integer linear programming and normal form games with two players. We first investigate computing Nash equilibria of normal form games with two players using single-objective mixedintegerlinearprogramming. Then, we define the concept of efficient (Pareto optimal) Nash equilibria. This concept is precisely equivalent to the concept of efficient solutions in multi-objective optimization, where the solutions are Nash equilibria. We prove that the set of all points in the payoff (or objective) space of a normal form game with two players corresponding to the utilities of players in an efficient Nash equilibrium, the so-called nondominated Nash points, is finite. We demonstrate that biobjective mixed integer linear programming, where the utility of each player is an objective function, can be used to compute the set of nondominated Nash points. Finally, we illustrate how the nondominated Nash points can be used to determine the disagreement point of a bargaining problem.

We present the first (criterion space search) algorithm for optimizing a linear function over the set of efficient solutions of biobjectivemixedintegerlinear programs. The proposed algorithm is developed based on the triangle splitting method [Boland N, Charkhgard H, Savelsbergh M (2015) A criterion space search algorithm for biobjectivemixedintegerprogramming: The triangle splitting method. INFORMS J. Comput. 27(4): 597-618.], which can find a full representation of the nondominated frontier of any biobjectivemixedintegerlinear program. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement and converges quickly to an optimal solution. An extensive computational study shows the efficacy of the algorithm. We numerically show that the proposed algorithm can be used to quickly generate a provably high-quality approximate solution because it maintains a lower and an upper bound on the optimal value of the linear function at any point in time.

Energy storage (ES) is acknowledged to play an important role in modern energy technologies due to its potential to reduce operational costs, enhance the resilience, and level energy load for energy systems. Efficient ES management can achieve cost savings, also known as energy arbitrage, by charging at off-peak prices and discharging at peak prices. This arbitrage can be further boosted by allowing the ES to be shared by multiple users/buildings. However, since energy arbitrage relies on the variation of energy prices, it is hard to achieve this arbitrage if the prices are uncertain. To address this challenge, we present a robust optimization approach to fairly and efficiently operate an ES shared between two users under price uncertainty. This sharing strategy is formulated as a biobjectivemixedinteger bilinearprogramming model. To facilitate solution efficiency, we propose a binary formulation for piecewise McCormick relaxations to approximate the bilinear model by a tractable linear model. A computational study demonstrates the effectiveness of our robust sharing strategy for managing ES sharing under price uncertainty. Also, it shows that the proposed binary formulation for piecewise McCormick relaxations reduces the runtime by around 80% compared to the traditional unary formulation.
