Integer convex minimization by mixed integer linear optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Minimizing a convex function over the integral points of a bounded convex set is polynomial in fixed dimension [6]. We provide an alternative, short, and geometrically motivated proof of this result. In particular, we present an oraclepolynomial algorithm based on a mixed integer linear optimization oracle.

A Comparison of Mixed - Integer Programming Models for Nonconvex Piecewise Linear Cost Minimization Problems
We study a generic minimization problem with separable non-convex piecewise linear costs, showing that the linear programming (LP) relaxation of three textbook mixed-integer programming formulations each approximates the cost function by its lower convex envelope. We also show a relationship between this result and classical Lagrangian duality theory.
متن کاملOptimizing Ψ-learning via Mixed Integer Programming
As a new margin-based classifier, ψ-learning shows great potential for high accuracy. However, the optimization of ψ-learning involves non-convex minimization and is very challenging to implement. In this article, we convert the optimization of ψ-learning into a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem. This enables us to utilize the state-of-art algorithm of MIP to solve ψ-learning. Moreover, t...
متن کاملPolyhedral approximation in mixed-integer convex optimization
Generalizing both mixed-integer linear optimization and convex optimization, mixed-integer convex optimization possesses broad modeling power but has seen relatively few advances in general-purpose solvers in recent years. In this paper, we intend to provide a broadly accessible introduction to our recent work in developing algorithms and software for this problem class. Our approach is based o...
متن کاملMixed-Integer Convex Representability
We consider the question of which nonconvex sets can be represented exactly as the feasible sets of mixed-integer convex optimization problems. We state the first complete characterization for the case when the number of possible integer assignments is finite. We develop a characterization for the more general case of unbounded integer variables together with a simple necessary condition for re...

We consider N-fold 4-block decomposable integer programs, which simultaneously generalize N-fold integer programs and two-stage stochastic integer programs with N scenarios. In previous work [R.

IPCO 2010, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 6080, Springer, 2...
