    Two-stage stochastic programs with binary recourse are challenging to solve and efficient solution methods for such problems have been limited. In this work, we generalize an existing binary decision diagram-based (BDD-based) approach of Lozano and Smith (Math. Program., 2018) to solve a special class of two-stage stochastic programs with binary recourse. In this setting, the … Read more

    The Distance Geometry Problem (DGP) seeks to find positions for a set of points in geometric space when some distances between pairs of these points are known. The so-called discretization assumptions allow to discretize the search space of DGP instances. In this paper, we focus on a key subclass of DGP, namely the Discretizable Molecular … Read more

    Given an integer dimension K and a simple, undirected graph G with positive edge weights, the Distance Geometry Problem (DGP) aims to find a realization function mapping each vertex to a coordinate in K-dimensional space such that the distance between pairs of vertex coordinates is equal to the corresponding edge weights in G. The so-called … Read more
