Advances in Polyhedral Relaxations of the Quadratic Linear Ordering Problem

We report on results concerning the polyhedral structure of the quadratic linear ordering problem and its associated integer linear programming formulations. Specifically, we provide a deeper analysis of the characteristic equation system that partly describes the corresponding polytope, i.e., the convex hull of the feasible solutions to the quadratic linear ordering problem, and determine an … Read more

A Family of Spanning-Tree Formulations for the Maximum Cut Problem

We present a family of integer programming formulations for the maximum cut problem. These formulations encode the incidence vectors of the cuts of a connected graph by employing a subset of the odd-cycle inequalities that relate to a spanning tree, and they require only the corresponding edge variables to be integral explicitly. They so describe … Read more

Inductive Linearization for Binary Quadratic Programs with Linear Constraints: A Computational Study

The computational performance of inductive linearizations for binary quadratic programs in combination with a mixed-integer programming solver is investigated for several combinatorial optimization problems and established benchmark instances. Apparently, a few of these are solved to optimality for the first time. Citation preprint (no internal series / number): University of Bonn, Germany June 11, 2021 … Read more
