In this paper we introduce an evolutionary algorithm for the solution of linear integer programs. The strategy is based on the separation of the variables into the integer subset and the continuous subset; the integer variables are fixed by the evolutionary system, and the continuous ones are determined in function of…

The objective scaling ensemble approach is a novel two-phase heuristic for integer linear programming problems shown to be effective on a wide variety of integer linear programming problems. The technique identifies and aggregates multiple partial solutions to modify the problem formulation and significantly reduce the…

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c T x : Ax = b, x > 0, x ∈ Z n } where A ∈ Z m×n , b ∈ Z m and c ∈ Z n . We show that such an integer program can be solved in time (m ·∆) O(m) · kbk 2 ∞, where ∆ is an upper bound on each absolute value of an entry in A. This improves upon the longstanding…

We propose a new exact approach for solving integer linear programming (ILP) problems which we will call projective splitting algorithms (PSAs). Unlike classical methods for solving ILP problems, PSAs conduct the search for the optimal solution by generating candidate solutions tailored to specific values of the…

In this paper, we present FPT-algorithms for special cases of the shortest vector problem (SVP) and the integer linear programming problem (ILP), when matrices included to the problems' formulations are near square. The main parameter is the maximal absolute value of rank minors of matrices included to the problem…

Here we study linear programming applied to the random K-SAT problem, a fundamental problem in computational complexity. The K-SAT problem is to decide whether a Boolean formula with N variables and structured as a conjunction of M clauses, each being a disjunction of K variables or their negations is satisfiable or…

In this paper we propose a new efficient linear programming based approach for multi-resource allocation and location problems in disaster management. Such problems require an integer solution and therefore, in most cases, the computations rely on integer and mixed-integer linear programming solvers. In general, these…

A rational number is dyadic if it has a finite binary representation $p/2^k$, where p is an integer and k is a nonnegative integer. Dyadic rationals are important for numerical computations because they have an exact representation in floating-point arithmetic on a computer. A vector is dyadic if all its entries are…

Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) plays an important role across a range of scientific disciplines and within areas of strategic importance to society. The MILP problems, however, suffer from combinatorial complexity. Because of integer decision variables, as the problem size increases, the number of possible…

The size of the largest binary single deletion code has been unknown for more than 50 years. It is known that Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) code is an optimum single deletion code for block length $n\leq10$; however, only a few upper bounds of the size of single deletion code are proposed for larger n. We provide improved…

This paper presents a canonical dual method for solving a quadratic discrete value selection problem subjected to inequality constraints. The problem is first transformed into a problem with quadratic objective and 0-1 integer variables. The dual problem of the 0-1 programming problem is thus constructed by using the…

'Efrén Mezura-Montes' 'Eduardo Vega-Alvarado' 'María Bárbara Calva-Yañez' 'Thomas Stützle'] Mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) addresses optimization problems that involve continuous and discrete/integer decision variables, as well as nonlinear functions. These problems often exhibit multiple discontinuous…

This paper proposes a new methodology for solving the interval bilevel linear programming problem in which all coefficients of both objective functions and constraints are considered as interval numbers. In order to keep as much uncertainty of the original constraint region as possible, the original problem is first…

This paper presents a new simplex-type algorithm for Linear Programming with the following two main characteristics: (i) the algorithm computes basic solutions which are neither primal or dual feasible, nor monotonically improving and (ii) the sequence of these basic solutions is connected with a sequence of…

This paper proposes a streamlined form of simplex method which provides some great benefits over traditional simplex method. For instance, it does not need any kind of artificial variables or artificial constraints; it could start with any feasible or infeasible basis of an LP. This method follows the same pivoting…
