Convexification of Queueing Formulas by Mixed-Integer Second-Order Cone Programming: An Application to a Discrete Location Problem with Congestion [PDF]
Mixed-Integer Second-Order Cone Programs (MISOCPs) form a nice class of mixed-inter convex programs, which can be solved very efficiently due to the recent advances in optimization solvers.

A smoothed finite element method using second-order cone programming [PDF]
In this paper, a new approach abbreviated as SOCP-SFEM is developed for analysing geomechanical problems in elastoplasticity. The SOCP-SFEM combines a strain smoothing technique with the finite element method (FEM) in second-order cone programming (SOCP)

Reformulating mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programs [PDF]
It is well known that semidefinite programming (SDP) can be used to derive useful relaxations for a variety of optimisation problems. Moreover, in the particular case of mixed-integer quadratic programs, SDP has been used to reformulate problems, rather ...

Approximate and exact optimal designs for 2^k factorial experiments for generalized linear models via second order cone programming [PDF]
Model-based optimal designs of experiments (M-bODE) for nonlinear models are typically hard to compute. The literature on the computation of M-bODE for nonlinear models when the covariates are categorical variables, i.e. factorial experiments, is scarce.
