Evaluating Mixed-Integer Programming Models over Multiple Right-hand Sides

A critical measure of model quality for a mixed-integer program (MIP) is the difference, or gap, between its optimal objective value and that of its linear programming relaxation. In some cases, the right-hand side is not known exactly; however, there is no consensus metric for evaluating a MIP model when considering multiple right-hand sides. In this paper, we provide model formulations for the expectation and extrema of absolute and relative MIP gap functions over finite discrete sets.
