基数约束下一类凹次模极小化问题的强有效不等式

Strong valid inequalities for a class of concave submodular minimization problems under cardinality constraints

Qimeng Yu, Simge Küçükyavuz

摘要:

研究了一类基数约束凹次模极小化问题中混合整数集的多面体凸包结构。这类问题具有$f(a^\top x)$形式的目标函数,其中$f$是单变量凹函数,$a$是非负向量,而$x$是适当维数的二元向量。这种最小化问题经常出现在涉及风险规避或规模经济的应用中。当$a$有两个不同值时,我们给出了这类凸包的三类强有效线性不等式,并给出了它们的刻面条件。我们展示了如何使用这些不等式,以获得有效的不等式一般$a$,包含多个值。当$a$包含两个不同的值且基数约束上界为2时,我们进一步给出了这个混合整数集的一个完整的线性凸包描述。我们在平均风险最优化问题上的计算实验证明了所提出的不等式在分支切割框架下的有效性。

英文摘要:

We study the polyhedral convex hull structure of a mixed-integer set which arises in a class of cardinality-constrained concave submodular minimization problems. This class of problems has an objective function in the form of $f(a^\top x)$, where $f$ is a univariate concave function, $a$ is a non-negative vector, and $x$ is a binary vector of appropriate dimension. Such minimization problems frequently appear in applications that involve risk-aversion or economies of scale. We propose three classes of strong valid linear inequalities for this convex hull and specify their facet conditions when $a$ has two distinct values. We show how to use these inequalities to obtain valid inequalities for general $a$ that contains multiple values. We further provide a complete linear convex hull description for this mixed-integer set when $a$ contains two distinct values and the cardinality constraint upper bound is two. Our computational experiments on the mean-risk optimization problem demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed inequalities in a branch-and-cut framework.
