چکیده

We study the existence of integer solutions to max-linear optimization problems. Specifically, we show that, in a generic case, the integer max-linear optimization problem can be solved in strongly polynomial time. This extends results from our previous papers where polynomial methods for this generic case were given.

Global optimization of mixed-integer polynomial programming problems: A new method based on Grobner Bases theory

Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...

Solving integer programs over monotone inequalities in three variables: A framework for half integrality and good approximations

We define a class of monotone integer programs with constraints that involve up to three variables each. A generic constraint in such integer program is of the form ax by6 zþ c, where a and b are nonnegative and the variable z appears only in that constraint. We devise an algorithm solving such problems in time polynomial in the length of the input and the range of variables U. The solution is ...

Global Optimization with Polynomials

The class of POP (Polynomial Optimization Problems) covers a wide rang of optimization problems such as 0− 1 integer linear and quadratic programs, nonconvex quadratic programs and bilinear matrix inequalities. In this paper, we review some methods on solving the unconstraint case: minimize a real-valued polynomial p(x) : R → R, as well the constraint case: minimize p(x) on a semialgebraic set ...

On the optimization of Dombi non-linear programming

Dombi family of t-norms includes a parametric family of continuous strict t-norms, whose members are increasing functions of the parameter. This family of t-norms covers the whole spectrum of t-norms when the parameter is changed from zero to infinity. In this paper, we study a nonlinear optimization problem in which the constraints are defined as fuzzy relational equations (FRE) with the Dombi...

A Non-linear Integer Bi-level Programming Model for Competitive Facility Location of Distribution Centers

The facility location problem is a strategic decision-making for a supply chain, which determines the profitability and sustainability of its components. This paper deals with a scenario where two supply chains, consisting of a producer, a number of distribution centers and several retailers provided with similar products, compete to maintain their market shares by opening new distribution cent...
