The use of machine learning techniques to improve the performance of branch-and-bound
optimization algorithms is a very active area in the context of mixed integer linear problems …

Modern traceability technologies promise to improve supply chain management by
simplifying recalls, increasing visibility, and verifying sustainable supplier practices …

In this paper, we study the problem of minimizing a polynomial function with literals over all
binary points, often referred to as pseudo-Boolean optimization. We investigate the …

Furthermore, we study our main geometric tool which we term the glued product of
polytopes. While the glued product of polytopes has been known since the'90s, we are the …

The usual integer programming formulation for the maximum clique problem has several
undesirable properties, including a weak LP relaxation, a quadratic number of constraints …

In this dissertation, we discuss three classes of nonconvex optimization problems, namely,
mixed-integer programming, nonlinear complementarity problems, and mixed-integer bilevel …

Abstract Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MIP) techniques can be used to model a variety
of real-life problems. To solve a MIP problem, several effective solvers have been developed …
