Sufficient pruning conditions for MINLP in gas network design

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2017
One-quarter of Europe’s energy demand is provided by natural gas distributed through a vast pipeline network covering the whole of Europe. At a cost of 1 million Euros per kilometer the extension of the European pipeline network is already a multi ...

The summed start-up costs in a unit commitment problem

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2017
We consider the sum of the incurred start-up costs of a single unit in a Unit Commitment problem. Our major result is a correspondence between the facets of its epigraph and some binary trees for concave start-up cost functions CU, which is bijective if ...

Towards optimizing the deployment of optical access networks

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2014
In this paper we study the cost-optimal deployment of optical access networks considering variants of the problem such as fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building (FTTB), fiber to the curb (FTTC), or fiber to the neighborhood (FTTN).

2-D non-periodic homogenization of the elastic wave equation: SH case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceIn the Earth, seismic waves propagate through 3-D heterogeneities characterized by a large variety of scales, some of them much smaller than their minimum wavelength.

Pseudo basic steps: bound improvement guarantees from Lagrangian decomposition in convex disjunctive programming

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2018
An elementary, but fundamental, operation in disjunctive programming is a basic step, which is the intersection of two disjunctions to form a new disjunction.

FPTAS for optimizing polynomials over the mixed-integer points of polytopes in fixed dimension

open access: yes, 2006
We show the existence of a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for the problem of maximizing a non-negative polynomial over mixed-integer sets in convex polytopes, when the number of variables is fixed.

An approximation algorithm for the generalized minimum spanning tree problem with bounded cluster size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Given a complete undirected graph with the nodes partitioned into m node sets called clusters, the Generalized Minimum Spanning Tree problem denoted by GMST is to find a minimum-cost tree which includes exactly one node from each cluster.

Transversal numbers over subsets of linear spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$. It is an important question in the theory of linear inequalities to estimate the minimal number $h=h(M)$ such that every system of linear inequalities which is infeasible over $M$ has a subsystem of at most $h ...

Speeding up column generation for robust wireless network planning

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2013
The wireless network planning problem consists of base station placement and traffic node assignment to base stations. To incorporate traffic demand uncertainties, we follow the Γ-robustness approach by Bertsimas and Sim.
