Linear Programming Relaxations of Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programs

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate the use of linear programming tools for solving semidefinite programming relaxations of quadratically constrained quadratic problems. Classes of valid linear inequalities are presented, including sparse PSD cuts, and principal minors PSD ...

Comparison of the formulations for a hub-and-spoke network design problem under congestion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we study the hub location problem with a power-law congestion cost and propose an exact solution approach. We formulate this problem in a conic quadratic form and use a strengthening method which rests on valid inequalities of perspective ...

An Automated Load Restoration Approach for Improving Load Serving Capabilities in Smart Urban Networks

open access: yesUrban Science
In this paper, a very fast and reliable strategy for load restoration utilizing optimal distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) is developed. The automated network configuration switches can improve the resilience of a microgrid (MG) equipped with a ...

Unit commitment with valve-point loading effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Valve-point loading affects the input-output characteristics of generating units, bringing the fuel costs nonlinear and nonsmooth. This has been considered in the solution of load dispatch problems, but not in the planning phase of unit commitment.

On Finding Maximum Cardinality Subset of Vectors with a Constraint on Normalized Squared Length of Vectors Sum

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we consider the problem of finding a maximum cardinality subset of vectors, given a constraint on the normalized squared length of vectors sum. This problem is closely related to Problem 1 from (Eremeev, Kel'manov, Pyatkin, 2016). The main

A compact variant of the QCR method for quadratically constrained quadratic 0-1 programs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Quadratic Convex Reformulation (QCR) is a technique that was originally proposed for quadratic 0-1 programs, and then extended to various other problems.

A Status Report on Conflict Analysis in Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming

open access: yes, 2019
Mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs) are arguably among the hardest optimization problems, with a wide range of applications. MINLP solvers that are based on linear relaxations and spatial branching work similar as mixed integer programming (MIP ...
