    Reformulations in Mathematical Programming: A Computational Approach⋆ Leo Liberti, Sonia Cafieri, and Fabien Tarissan LIX, Ecole´ Polytechnique, Palaiseau, 91128 France {liberti,cafieri,tarissan}@lix.polytechnique.fr Summary. Mathematical programming is a language for describing optimization problems; it is based on parameters, decision variables, objective function(s) subject to various types of constraints. The present treatment is concerned with the case when objective(s) and constraints are algebraic mathematical expres- sions of the parameters and decision variables, and therefore excludes optimization of black-box functions. A reformulation of a mathematical program P is a mathematical program Q obtained from P via symbolic transformations applied to the sets of variables, objectives and constraints. We present a survey of existing reformulations interpreted along these lines, some example applications, and describe the implementation of a software framework for reformulation and optimization. 1 Introduction Optimization and decision problems are usually defined by their input and a mathematical de- scription of the required output: a mathematical entity with an associated value, or whether a given entity has a specified mathematical property or not. Mathematical programming is a lan- guage designed to express almost all practically interesting optimization and decision problems. Mathematical programming formulations can be categorized according to various properties, and rather efficient solution algorithms exist for many of the categories.

  • T-Optimal Designs for Multi-Factor Polynomial Regression Models Via a Semidefinite Relaxation Method
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) T-optimal designs for multi-factor polynomial regression models via a semidefinite relaxation method Yuguang Yue · Lieven Vandenberghe · Weng Kee Wong Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract We consider T-optimal experiment design problems for discriminat- ing multi-factor polynomial regression models where the design space is defined by polynomial inequalities and the regression parameters are constrained to given convex sets. Our proposed optimality criterion is formulated as a convex optimization problem with a moment cone constraint. When the regression models have one factor, an exact semidefinite representation of the moment cone constraint can be applied to obtain an equivalent semidefinite program. When there are two or more factors in the models, we apply a moment relax- ation technique and approximate the moment cone constraint by a hierarchy of semidefinite-representable outer approximations. When the relaxation hier- archy converges, an optimal discrimination design can be recovered from the optimal moment matrix, and its optimality is confirmed by an equivalence theorem. The methodology is illustrated with several examples. Keywords Continuous design · Convex optimization · Equivalence theorem · Moment relaxation · Semidefinite programming 1 Introduction In many scientific investigations, the underlying statistical model that drives the outcome of interest is not known.

  • Global Optimization: from Theory to Implementation
    Global Optimization: from Theory to Implementation Leo Liberti DEI, Politecnico di Milano, Piazza L. da Vinci 32, 20133 Milano, Italy Nelson Maculan COPPE, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, P.O. Box, 68511, 21941-972 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil DRAFT To Anne-Marie DRAFT Preface The idea for this book was born on the coast of Montenegro, in October 2003, when we were invited to the Sym-Op-Is Serbian Conference on Operations Research. During those days we talked about many optimization problems, going from discussion to implementation in a matter of minutes, reaping good profits from the whole \hands-on" process, and having a lot of fun in the meanwhile. All the wrong ideas were weeded out almost immediately by failed computational experiments, so we wasted little time on those. Unfortunately, translating ideas into programs is not always fast and easy, and moreover the amount of literature about the implementation of global optimization algorithm is scarce. The scope of this book is that of moving a few steps towards the system- atization of the path that goes from the invention to the implementation and testing of a global optimization algorithm. The works contained in this book have been written by various researchers working at academic or industrial institutions; some very well known, some less famous but expert nonetheless in the discipline of actually getting global optimization to work. The papers in this book underline two main developments in the imple- mentation side of global optimization: firstly, the introduction of symbolic manipulation algorithms and automatic techniques for carrying out algebraic transformations; and secondly, the relatively wide availability of extremely ef- ficient global optimization heuristics and metaheuristics that target large-scale nonconvex constrained optimization problems directly.

  • MINLP Solver Software
    MINLP Solver Software Michael R. Bussieck and Stefan Vigerske GAMS Development Corp., 1217 Potomac St, NW Washington, DC 20007, USA [email protected], [email protected] March 10, 2014 Abstract In this article we give a brief overview of the start-of-the-art in software for the solution of mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLP). We establish several groupings with respect to various features and give concise individual descriptions for each solver. The provided information may guide the selection of a best solver for a particular MINLP problem. Keywords: mixed integer nonlinear programming, solver, software, MINLP, MIQCP 1 Introduction The general form of an MINLP is minimize f(x; y) subject to g(x; y) ≤ 0 (P) x 2 X y 2 Y integer n+s n+s m The function f : R ! R is a possibly nonlinear objective function and g : R ! R a possibly nonlinear constraint function. Most algorithms require the functions f and g to be continuous and differentiable, but some may even allow for singular discontinuities. The variables x and y are the decision variables, where y is required to be integer valued. The n s sets X ⊆ R and Y ⊆ R are bounding-box-type restrictions on the variables. Additionally to integer requirements on variables, other kinds of discrete constraints are commonly used. These are, e.g., special-ordered-set constraints (only one (SOS type 1) or two consecutive (SOS type 2) variables in an (ordered) set are allowed to be nonzero) [8], semicontinuous variables (the variable is allowed to take either the value zero or a value above some bound), semiinteger variables (like semicontinuous variables, but with an additional integer restric- tion), and indicator variables (a binary variable indicates whether a certain set of constraints has to be enforced).

  • 67 SOFTWARE Michael Joswig and Benjamin Lorenz
    67 SOFTWARE Michael Joswig and Benjamin Lorenz INTRODUCTION This chapter is intended as a guide through the ever-growing jungle of geometry software. Software comes in many guises. There are the fully fledged systems consisting of a hundred thousand lines of code that meet professional standards in software design and user support. But there are also the tiny code fragments scattered over the Internet that can nonetheless be valuable for research purposes. And, of course, the very many individual programs and packages in between. Likewise today we find a wide group of users of geometry software. On the one hand, there are researchers in geometry, teachers, and their students. On the other hand, geometry software has found its way into numerous applications in the sciences as well as industry. Because it seems impossible to cover every possible aspect, we focus on software packages that are interesting from the researcher's point of view, and, to a lesser extent, from the student's. This bias has a few implications. Most of the packages listed are designed to run on UNIX/Linux1 machines. Moreover, the researcher's genuine desire to understand produces a natural inclination toward open source software. This is clearly reflected in the selections below. Major exceptions to these rules of thumb will be mentioned explicitly. In order to keep the (already long) list of references as short as possible, in most cases only the Web address of each software package is listed rather than manuals and printed descriptions, which can be found elsewhere. At least for the freely available packages, this allows one to access the software directly.

These mathematical entities and prop- erties are expressed in the language of set theory, most often in the ZFC axiomatic system [62]. The scope of set theory language in ZFC is to describe all possible mathematical entities, and its limits are given by G¨odel’s incompleteness theorem. Optimization and decision problems are special in the sense that they are closely linked to a particular algorithmic process designed to solve them: more precisely, although the algorithm is not directly mentioned in the problem definition, the main reason why problems are formally cast is that a solution to the problem is desired.
