چکیده

This paper deals with the cutting-plane approach to the maximum stable set problem. We provide theoretical results regarding the facet-defining property of inequalities obtained by a known project-and-lift-style separation method called edge-projection, and its variants. An implementation of a Branch and Cut algorithm is described, which uses edge-projection and two other separation tools which have been discussed for other problems: local cuts (pioneered by Applegate, Bixby, Chvátal and Cook) and mod-k cuts. We compare the performance of this approach to another one by Rossi and Smiriglio (2001) and discuss the value of the tools we have tested.

Discrete Optimization with Decision Diagrams

We propose a general branch-and-bound algorithm for discrete optimization in which binary decision diagrams (BDDs) play the role of the traditional linear programming relaxation. In particular, relaxed BDD representations of the problem provide bounds and guidance for branching, while restricted BDDs supply a primal heuristic. Each problem is given a dynamic programming model that allows one to...

A branch-and-cut algorithm for the maximum cardinality stable set problem

We propose a branch-and-cut algorithm for the Maximum Cardinality Stable Set problem. Rank constraints of general structure are generated by executing clique separation algorithms on a modi4ed graph obtained with edge projections. A branching scheme exploiting the available inequalities is also introduced. A computational experience on the DIMACS benchmark graphs validates the e8ectiveness of t...

Stable Set Problem: Branch & Cut Algorithms

In this article, we provide an overview on how the maximum weighted stable set problem can be solved exactly with Branch & Cut techniques. In addition, we provide selected references to other exact methods. We start with a brief introduction of the stable set problem and a few basic definitions but assuming that the reader is already familiar with the basic concepts. The main stress of this art...

Solving the Bi-Objective Maximum-Flow Network-Interdiction Problem

W describe a new algorithm for computing the efficient frontier of the “bi-objective maximum-flow network-interdiction problem.” In this problem, an “interdictor” seeks to interdict (destroy) a set of arcs in a capacitated network that are Pareto-optimal with respect to two objectives, minimizing total interdiction cost and minimizing maximum flow. The algorithm identifies these solutions throu...

Two optimal algorithms for finding bi-directional shortest path design problem in a block layout

In this paper, Shortest Path Design Problem (SPDP) in which the path is incident to all cells is considered. The bi-directional path is one of the known types of configuration of networks for Automated Guided Vehi-cles (AGV).To solve this problem, two algorithms are developed. For each algorithm an Integer Linear Pro-gramming (ILP) is determined. The objective functions of both algorithms are t...
