Solving Planning and Design Problems in the Process Industry Using Mixed Integer and Global Optimization

This contribution gives an overview on the state-of-the-art and recent advances in mixed integer optimization to solve planning and design problems in the process industry. In some case studies specific aspects are stressed and the typical difficulties of real world problems are addressed. Mixed integer linear optimization is widely used to solve supply chain planning problems. Some of the complicating features such as origin tracing and shelf life constraints are discussed in more detail. If properly done the planning models can also be used to do product and customer portfolio analysis. We also stress the importance of multi-criteria optimization and correct modeling for optimization under uncertainty. Stochastic programming for continuous LP problems is now part of most optimization packages, and there is encouraging progress in the field of stochastic MILP and robust MILP. Process and network design problems often lead to nonconvex mixed integer nonlinear programming models. If the time to compute the solution is not bounded, there are already a commercial solvers available which can compute the global optima of such problems within hours. If time is more restricted, then tailored solution techniques are required.

Heuristics Based on Partial Enumeration for the Unrelated Parallel Processor Scheduling Problem

The classical deterministic scheduling problem of minimizing the makespan on unrelated parallel processors is known to be NP-hard in the strong sense. Given the mixed integer linear model with binary decision variables, this paper presents heuristic algorithms based on partial enumeration. Basically, they consist in the construction of mixed integer subproblems, considering the integrality of some subset of variables, formulated using the information obtained from the solution of the linear relaxed problem. Computational experiments are reported for a collection of test problems, showing that some of the proposed algorithms achieve better solutions than other relevant approximation algorithms published up to now.     

A mixed integer programming model for multistage mean–variance post-tax optimization

In this paper, we introduce a mixed integer stochastic programming approach to mean–variance post-tax portfolio management. This approach takes into account of risk in a multistage setting and allows general withdrawals from original capital. The uncertainty on asset returns is specified as a scenario tree. The risk across scenarios is addressed using the probabilistic approach of classical stochastic programming. The tax rules are used with stochastic linear and mixed integer quadratic programming models to compute an overall tax and return-risk efficient multistage portfolio. The incorporation of the risk term in the model provides robustness and leads to diversification over wrappers and assets within each wrapper. General withdrawals and risk aversion have an impact on the distribution of assets among wrappers. Computational results are presented using a study with different scenario trees in order to show the performance of these models.     

Discrete linear bilevel programming problem

In this paper, we analyze some properties of the discrete linear bilevel program for different discretizations of the set of variables. We study the geometry of the feasible set and discuss the existence of an optimal solution. We also establish equivalences between different classes of discrete linear bilevel programs and particular linear multilevel programming problems. These equivalences are based on concave penalty functions and can be used to design penalty function methods for the solution of discrete linear bilevel programs.Support of this work has been provided by the INIC (Portugal) under Contract 89/EXA/5, by INVOTAN, FLAD, and CCLA (Portugal), and by FCAR (Québec), NSERC, and DND-ARP (Canada).     

On a pair of nonlinear mixed integer programming problems

We consider maximin and minimax nonlinear mixed integer programming problems which are nonsymmetric in duality sense. Under weaker (pseudo-convex/pseudo-concave) assumptions, we show that the supremum infimum of the maximin problem is greater than or equal to the infimum supremum of the minimax problem. As a particular case, this result reduces to the weak duality theorem for minimax and symmetric dual nonlinear mixed integer programming problems. Further, this is used to generalize available results on minimax and symmetric duality in nonlinear mixed integer programming.

The Million-Variable “March” for Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization

Combinatorial optimization problems have applications in a variety of sciences and engineering. In the presence of data uncertainty, these problems lead to stochastic combinatorial optimization problems which result in very large scale combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we report on the solution of some of the largest stochastic combinatorial optimization problems consisting of over a million binary variables. While the methodology is quite general, the specific application with which we conduct our experiments arises in stochastic server location problems. The main observation is that stochastic combinatorial optimization problems are comprised of loosely coupled subsystems. By taking advantage of the loosely coupled structure, we show that decomposition-coordination methods provide highly effective algorithms, and surpass the scalability of even the most efficiently implemented backtracking search algorithms.
