A MAX-CUT formulation of 0/1 programs
We consider the linear or quadratic 0/1 program \[P:\quad f^*=\min\{ c^Tx+x^TFx : \:A\,x =\b;\:x\in\{0,1\}^n\},\] for some vectors $c\in R^n$, $b\in Z^m$, some matrix $A\in Z^{m\times n}$ and some real symmetric matrix $F\in R^{n\times n}$. We show that $P$ can be formulated as a MAX-CUT problem whose quadratic form criterion is explicit from the data of … Read more
