چکیده

We show how to efficiently model binary constraint problems (BCP) as integer programs. After considering tree-structured BCPs first, we show that a Sherali-Adams-like procedure results in a polynomial-size linear programming description of the convex hull of all integer feasible solutions when the BCP that is given has bounded tree-width.

A Totally Unimodular Description of the Consistent Value Polytope for Binary Constraint Programming

We present a theoretical study on the idea of using mathematical programming relaxations for filtering binary constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce the consistent value polytope and give a linear programming description that is provably tighter than a recently studied formulation. We then provide an experimental study that shows that, despite the theoretical progress, in practice filte...

LP approximations to mixed-integer polynomial optimization problems

We present a class of linear programming approximations for constrained optimization problems. In the case of mixed-integer polynomial optimization problems, if the intersection graph of the constraints has bounded tree-width our construction yields a class of linear size formulations that attain any desired tolerance. As a result, we obtain an approximation scheme for the “AC-OPF” problem on g...

Solving multiobjective linear programming problems using ball center of polytopes

Here‎, ‎we aim to develop a new algorithm for solving a multiobjective linear programming problem‎. ‎The algorithm is to obtain a solution which approximately meets the decision maker's preferences‎. ‎It is proved that the proposed algorithm always converges to a weak efficient solution and at times converges to an efficient solution‎. ‎Numerical examples and a simulation study are used to illu...

A Mathematical Optimization Model for Solving Minimum Ordering Problem with Constraint Analysis and some Generalizations

In this paper, a mathematical method is proposed to formulate a generalized ordering problem. This model is formed as a linear optimization model in which some variables are binary. The constraints of the problem have been analyzed with the emphasis on the assessment of their importance in the formulation. On the one hand, these constraints enforce conditions on an arbitrary subgraph and then g...
