We give a survey of work on the number of vertices of the convex hull of integer points defined by the system of linear inequalities. Also, we present our improvement of some of these.
It is well known that recurrent sandpile configurations can be characterized as the optimal solution of certain optimization problems. In this article, we present two new integer linear programming models, one that computes recurrent configurations and other that computes the order of the configuration. Finally, by using duality of linear programming, we are able to compute the identity configuration for the cone of a regular graph.
We describe a general and safe computational framework that provides integer programming results with the degree of certainty that is required for machine-assisted proofs of mathematical theorems. At its core, the framework relies on a rational branch-and-bound certificate produced by an exact integer programming solver, SCIP, in order to circumvent floating-point roundoff errors present in most state-of-the-art solvers for mixed-integer programs. The resulting certificates are self-contained and checker software exists that can verify their correctness independently of the integer programming…
In this paper, we propose an Integer Linear Model whose solutions are the aperiodic rhythms tiling with a given rhythm A. We show how this model can be used to efficiently check the necessity of the Coven-Meyerowitz's $(T2)$ condition and also to define an iterative algorithm that finds all the possible tilings of the rhythm A. To conclude, we run several experiments to validate the time efficiency of this model.
In this paper, we propose two exact distributed algorithms to solve mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problems with multiple agents where data privacy is important for the agents. A key challenge is that, because of the non-convex nature of MILPs, classical distributed and decentralized optimization approaches cannot be applied directly to find their optimal solutions. The proposed exact algorithms are based on adding primal cuts and restricting the Lagrangian relaxation of the original MILP problem. We show finite convergence of these algorithms for MILPs with only binary and continuous…
There is always a natural embedding of $S_s\wr S_k$ into the linear programming (LP) relaxation permutation symmetry group of an orthogonal array integer linear programming (ILP) formulation with equality constraints. The point of this paper is to prove that in the $2$ level, strength $1$ case the LP relaxation permutation symmetry group of this formulation is isomorphic to $S_2\wr S_k$ for all $k$, and in the $2$ level, strength $2$ case it is isomorphic to $S_2^k\rtimes S_{k+1}$ for $k\geq 4$. The strength $2$ result reveals previously unknown permutation symmetries that can not be captured …
