How Mixed-Integer Programming is evolving part7

Abstract : We propose an early termination technique for mixed integer conic programming for use within branch-and-bound based solvers. Our approach generalizes previous early termination results for ADMM-based solvers to a broader class of primal-dual algorithms, including both operator splitting methods and interior point methods. The complexity for checking early termination is O(n) for each termination check assuming a bounded problem domain. We show that this domain restriction can be relaxed for problems whose data satisfies a simple rank condition, in which case each check requires an O(n2) solve using a linear system that must be factored only once at the root node. We further show how this approach can be used in hybrid model predictive control as long as system inputs are bounded. Numerical results show that our method leads to a moderate reduction in the total iterations required for branch-and-bound conic solvers with interior-point based subsolvers. 2.A GNN-Guided Predict-and-Search Framework for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (arXiv) <a href="https://medium.com/@monocosmo77/how-mixed-integer-programming-is-evolving-part7-224297bd1a07">Click Here</a>
