چکیده

We determine the maximal gap between the optimal values of an integer program and its linear programming relaxation, where the matrix and cost function are fixed but the right hand side is unspecified. Our formula involves irreducible decomposition of monomial ideals. The gap can be computed in polynomial time when the dimension is fixed.

A bi-level linear programming problem for computing the nadir point in MOLP

Computing the exact ideal and nadir criterion values is a very ‎important subject in ‎multi-‎objective linear programming (MOLP) ‎problems‎‎. In fact‎, ‎these values define the ideal and nadir points as lower and ‎upper bounds on the nondominated points‎. ‎Whereas determining the ‎ideal point is an easy work‎, ‎because it is equivalent to optimize a ‎convex function (linear function) over a con...

A Relation between the Protocol Partition Number and the Quasi-Additive Bound

In this note, we show that the linear programming for computing the quasi-additive bound of the formula size of a Boolean function presented by Ueno [MFCS’10] is equivalent to the dual problem of the linear programming relaxation of an integer programming for computing the protocol partition number. Together with the result of Ueno [MFCS’10], our results imply that there exists no gap between o...

An L1-norm method for generating all of efficient solutions of multi-objective integer linear programming problem

This paper extends the proposed method by Jahanshahloo et al. (2004) (a method for generating all the efficient solutions of a 0–1 multi-objective linear programming problem, Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research). This paper considers the recession direction for a multi-objective integer linear programming (MOILP) problem and presents necessary and sufficient conditions to have unbounde...

ALTERNATIVE MIXED INTEGER PROGRAMMING FOR FINDING EFFICIENT BCC UNIT

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) cannot provide adequate discrimination among efficient decision making units (DMUs). To discriminate these efficient DMUs is an interesting research subject. The purpose of this paper is to develop the mix integer linear model which was proposed by Foroughi (Foroughi A.A. A new mixed integer linear model for selecting the best decision making units in data envelo...

On Bridging the Gap Between Stochastic Integer Programming and MIP Solver Technologies

Stochastic integer programs (SIP) represent a very difficult class of optimization problems arising from the presence of both uncertainty and discreteness in planning and decision problems. Although applications of SIP are abundant, nothing is available in the way of computational software. On the other hand, commercial software packages for solving deterministic integer programs have been arou...
