The ratio-cut polytope and K-means clustering

A De Rosa, A Khajavirad - SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2022 - SIAM
We introduce the ratio-cut polytope defined as the convex hull of ratio-cut vectors
corresponding to all partitions of n points in R^m into at most K clusters. This polytope is …

[HTML][HTML] Some new clique inequalities in four-index hub location models

M Landete, J Peiró - European Journal of Operational Research, 2024 - Elsevier
Hub location problems can be modeled in several ways, one of which is the path-based
family of models that make use of four-index variables. Clique inequalities are frequently …

The stable set problem: Clique and nodal inequalities revisited

AN Letchford, F Rossi, S Smriglio - Computers & Operations Research, 2020 - Elsevier
The stable set problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimisation problem, that is known
to be very difficult in both theory and practice. Some of the solution algorithms in the …

On the power of linear programming for K-means clustering

A De Rosa, A Khajavirad, Y Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.01061, 2024 - arxiv.org
In [SIAM J. Optim., 2022], the authors introduced a new linear programming (LP) relaxation
for K-means clustering. In this paper, we further investigate both theoretical and …

Minimum weight clustered dominating tree problem

P Adasme, RC de Andrade - European Journal of Operational Research, 2023 - Elsevier
We discuss minimum weight clustered dominating trees that find applications in the wireless
sensor network design based on a clustered independent set structure. A cluster consists of …

Application of the Lov\'asz-Schrijver Lift-and-Project Operator to Compact Stable Set Integer Programs

F Battista, F Rossi, S Smriglio - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.19290, 2024 - arxiv.org
The Lov\'asz theta function $\theta (G) $ provides a very good upper bound on the stability
number of a graph $ G $. It can be computed in polynomial time by solving a semidefinite …

Optimizing over the closure of rank inequalities with a small right-hand side for the maximum stable set problem via bilevel programming

S Coniglio, S Gualandi - INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2022 - pubsonline.informs.org
In the context of the maximum stable set problem, rank inequalities impose that the
cardinality of any set of vertices contained in a stable set be, at most, as large as the stability …

Orbital conflict: Cutting planes for symmetric integer programs

J Linderoth, J Núñez Ares, J Ostrowski… - INFORMS Journal …, 2021 - pubsonline.informs.org
Cutting planes have been an important factor in the impressive progress made by integer
programming (IP) solvers in the past two decades. However, cutting planes have had little …

On the enumeration of Boolean functions with distinguished variables

J Freixas - Soft Computing, 2021 - Springer
Boolean functions have a fundamental role in neural networks and machine learning.
Enumerating these functions and significant subclasses is a highly complex problem …
