Mixed integer nonlinear programming using interior-point methods

چکیده

In this paper, we outline a bilevel approach for solving mixed integer nonlinear programming problems. The approach combines a branch-and-bound algorithm in the outer iterations and an infeasible interior-point method in the inner iterations. We report on the details of the implementation, including the efficient pruning of the branch-and-bound tree via equilibrium constraints, warmstart strategies for interior-point methods, and the handling of infeasible subproblems, and present numerical results on a standard problem library. Our goal is to demonstrate the viability of interior-point methods, with suitable modifications, to be used within any MINLP framework, and the numerical results provided are quite encouraging.

Using Interior-point Methods within an Outer Approximation Framework for Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming

Interior-point methods for nonlinear programming have been demonstrated to be quite efficient, especially for large scale problems, and, as such, they are ideal candidates for solving the nonlinear subproblems that arise in the solution of mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems via outer approximation. However, traditionally, infeasible primal-dual interior-point methods have had two main...

Interior-point methods for nonconvex nonlinear programming: regularization and warmstarts

In this paper, we investigate the use of an exact primal-dual penalty approach within the framework of an interior-point method for nonconvex nonlinear programming. This approach provides regularization and relaxation, which can aid in solving ill-behaved problems and in warmstarting the algorithm. We present details of our implementation within the loqo algorithm and provide extensive numerica...

Computational Experience of an Interior-Point Algorithm in a Parallel Branch-and-Cut Framework

An interior-point algorithm within a branch-and-bound framework for solving nonlinear mixed integer programs is described. In contrast to solving the relaxation to optimality at each tree node, the relaxation is only solved to near-optimality. Analogous to using advanced bases for warmstart solutions in the case of linear MIP, a \dynamic" collection of warmstart vectors is kept. Computational r...

Using an Interior Point Method in a Branch and Bound Algorithm for Integer Programming

This paper describes an experimental code that has been developed to solve zero-one mixed integer linear programs. The experimental code uses a primal{dual interior point method to solve the linear programming subproblems that arise in the solution of mixed integer linear programs by the branch and bound method. Computational results for a number of test problems are provided.
