Column generation for extended formulations

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2013
Working in an extended variable space allows one to develop tighter reformulations for mixed integer programs. However, the size of the extended formulation grows rapidly too large for a direct treatment by a MIP-solver.

An interior point algorithm for minimum sum-of-squares clustering [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Copyright @ 2000 SIAM PublicationsAn exact algorithm is proposed for minimum sum-of-squares nonhierarchical clustering, i.e., for partitioning a given set of points from a Euclidean m-space into a given number of clusters in order to minimize the sum of ...

Multi-Column Generation Model for the Locomotive Assignment Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a new decomposition model and a multi-column generation algorithm for solving the Locomotive Assignment Problem (LAP). The decomposition scheme relies on consist configurations, where each configuration is made of a set of trains pulled by the

A column generation algorithm for solving energy system planning problems [PDF]

open access: yesOptimization and Engineering, 2021
AbstractEnergy system optimization models are typically large models which combine sub-models which range from linear to very nonlinear. Column generation (CG) is a classical tool to generate feasible solutions of sub-models, defining columns of global master problems, which are used to steer the search for a global solution.
