Lagrangean relaxation of the hull-reformulation of linear generalized disjunctive programs and its use in disjunctive branch and bound

چکیده
In this work, we present a Lagrangean relaxation of the hull-reformulation of discrete-continuous optimization problems formulated as linear generalized disjunctive programs (GDP). The proposed Lagrangean relaxation has three important properties. The first property is that it can be applied to any linear GDP. The second property is that the solution to its continuous relaxation always yields 0-1 values for the binary variables of the hull-reformulation. Finally, it is simpler to solve than the continuous relaxation of the hull-reformulation. The proposed Lagrangean relaxation can be used in different GDP solution methods. In this work, we explore its use as primal heuristic to find feasible solutions in a disjunctive branch and bound algorithm. The modified disjunctive branch and bound is tested with several instances. The results show that the proposed disjunctive branch and bound performs better than other versions of the algorithm that do not include this primal heuristic.

Improved Formulations and Computational Strategies for the Solution and Nonconvex Generalized Disjunctive Programs
Many optimization problems require the modelling of discrete and continuous variables, giving rise to mixed-integer linear and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MILP / MINLP). An alternative representation of MINLP is Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP)1. GDP models are represented through continuous and Boolean variables, and involve algebraic equations, disjunctions, and logic propos...
متن کاملImproved Big-M reformulation for generalized disjunctive programs
In this work, we present a new Big-M reformulation for Generalized Disjunctive Programs. The proposed MINLP reformulation is stronger than the traditional Big-M, and it does not require additional variables or constraints. We present the new Big-M, and analyze the strength in its continuous relaxation compared to that of the traditional Big-M. The new formulation is tested by solving several in...
متن کاملA cutting plane method for solving linear generalized disjunctive programming problems
Raman and Grossmann (1994) and Lee and Grossmann (2000) have developed a reformulation of Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP) problems that is based on determining the convex hull of each disjunction. Although the relaxation of the reformulated problem using this method will often produce a significantly tighter lower bound when compared with the traditional big-M reformulation, the limit...

Abstract A global optimization algorithm for nonconvex Generalized Disjunctive Programming (GDP) problems is proposed in this paper. By making use of convex underestimating functions for bilinear, linear fractional and concave separable functions in the continuous variables, the convex hull of each nonlinear disjunction is constructed. The relaxed convex GDP problem is then solved in the first ...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Approach for Improved Mixed-Integer Reformulations of Convex Generalized Disjunctive Programs
In this work, we propose an algorithmic approach to improve mixed-integer models that are originally formulated as convex Generalized Disjunctive Programs (GDP). The algorithm seeks to obtain an improved continuous relaxation of the MILP/MINLP reformulation of the GDP, while limiting the growth in the problem size. There are three main stages that form the basis of the algorithm. The first one ...
