A Family of Facets for the p-Median Polytope

We present a nontrivial family of facet-defining inequalities for the p-median polytope. We incorporate the inequalities in a branch-and-cut scheme, and we report computational results that demonstrate their effectiveness.

A Family of Inequalities for the Generalized Assignment Polytope

We present a family of inequalities that are valid for the generalized assignment polytope. Although the inequalities are not facet-defining in general, they define facets of a polytope of a relaxation. We report computational results on the use of the inequalities in a branch-and-cut scheme that demonstrate their effectiveness. Citation Department of Industrial Engineering, State … Read more

Facets of the Complementarity Knapsack Polytope

We present a polyhedral study of the complementarity knapsack problem, in which no auxiliary binary variables are introduced, but rather the inequalities are derived in the space of the continuous variables.

Optimization on Computational Grids

We define the concept of a computational grid, and describe recent work in solving large and complex optimization problems on this type of platform; in particular, integer programming, the quadratic assignment problem, and stochastic programming problems. This article focuses on work conducted in the metaneos project. Citation Preprint, Mathematics and Computer Science Division, Argonne National … Read more
