Heuristics of the Branch-Cut-and-Price-Framework SCIP
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we give an overview of the heuristics which are integrated into the open source branch-cut-and-price-framework SCIP. We briefly describe the fundamental ideas of different categories of heuristics and present some computational results which demonstrate the impact of heuristics on the overall solving process of SCIP.

Primal Heuristics for Branch-and-Price Algorithms
In this paper, we present several primal heuristics which we implemented in the branch-and-price solver GCG based on the SCIP framework. This involves new heuristics as well as heuristics from the literature that make use of the reformulation yielded by the Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition. We give short descriptions of those heuristics and briefly discuss computational results. Furthermore, we give...
متن کاملExperiments with a Generic Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition for Integer Programs
We report on experiments with turning the branch-price-andcut framework SCIP into a generic branch-price-and-cut solver. That is, given a mixed integer program (MIP), our code performs a DantzigWolfe decomposition according to the user’s specification, and solves the resulting re-formulation via branch-and-price. We take care of the column generation subproblems which are solved as MIPs themsel...
متن کاملSCIP: Global Optimization of Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs in a Branch-and-Cut Framework
This paper describes the extensions that were added to the constraint integer programmingframework SCIP in order to enable it to solve convex and nonconvex mixed-integer nonlinearprograms (MINLPs) to global optimality. SCIP implements a spatial branch-and-bound algorithmbased on a linear outer-approximation, which is computed by convex overand underestimationof nonconvex functio...
متن کاملNested Column Generation Applied to the Crude Oil Tanker Routing and Scheduling Problem with Split Pickup and Split Delivery
The split pickup split delivery crude oil tanker routing and scheduling problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem, both theoretically and practically. However, because of the large expenses in crude oil shipping it is attractive to make use of optimization that exploits as many degrees of freedom as possible to save transportation cost. We propose a nested column generation algo...
