Complexity of cutting planes and branch-and-bound in mixed-integer optimization
We investigate the theoretical complexity of branch-and-bound (BB) and cutting plane (CP) algorithms for mixed-integer optimization. In particular, we study the relative efficiency of BB and CP, when both are based on the same family of disjunctions. We extend a result of Dash to the nonlinear setting which shows that for convex 0/1 problems, CP … Read more
Geometry of First-Order Methods and Adaptive Acceleration
First-order operator splitting methods are ubiquitous among many fields through science and engineering, such as inverse problems, signal/image processing, statistics, data science and machine learning, to name a few. In this paper, we study a geometric property of first-order methods when applying to solve non-smooth optimization problems. With the tool of “partial smoothness”, we design … Read more
The high-order block RIP for non-convex block-sparse compressed sensing
This paper concentrates on the recovery of block-sparse signals, which is not only sparse but also nonzero elements are arrayed into some blocks (clusters) rather than being arbitrary distributed all over the vector, from linear measurements. We establish high-order sufficient conditions based on block RIP to ensure the exact recovery of every block $s$-sparse signal … Read more
Expected complexity analysis of stochastic direct-search
This work presents the convergence rate analysis of stochastic variants of the broad class of direct-search methods of directional type. It introduces an algorithm designed to optimize differentiable objective functions $f$ whose values can only be computed through a stochastically noisy blackbox. The proposed stochastic directional direct-search (SDDS) algorithm accepts new iterates by imposing a … Read more
The perturbation analysis of nonconvex low-rank matrix robust recovery
In this paper, we bring forward a completely perturbed nonconvex Schatten $p$-minimization to address a model of completely perturbed low-rank matrix recovery. The paper that based on the restricted isometry property generalizes the investigation to a complete perturbation model thinking over not only noise but also perturbation, gives the restricted isometry property condition that guarantees … Read more
Complexity iteration analysis for stongly convex multi-objective optimization using a Newton path-following procedure
In this note we consider the iteration complexity of solving strongly convex multi objective optimization. We discuss the precise meaning of this problem, and indicate it is loosely defined, but the most natural notion is to find a set of Pareto optimal points across a grid of scalarized problems. We derive that in most cases, … Read more
Constraint Qualifications for Karush-Kuhn-Tucker Conditions in Constrained Multiobjective Optimization
The notion of a normal cone of a given set is paramount in optimization and variational analysis. In this work, we give a definition of a multiobjective normal cone which is suitable for studying optimality conditions and constraint qualifications for multiobjective optimization problems. A detailed study of the properties of the multiobjective normal cone is … Read more
A Classifier to Decide on the Linearization of Mixed-Integer Quadratic Problems in CPLEX
We translate the algorithmic question of whether to linearize convex Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming problems (MIQPs) into a classification task, and use machine learning (ML) techniques to tackle it. We represent MIQPs and the linearization decision by careful target and feature engineering. Computational experiments and evaluation metrics are designed to further incorporate the optimization knowledge in … Read more
Testing Copositivity via Mixed-Integer Linear Programming
We describe a simple method to test if a given matrix is copositive by solving a single mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. This methodology requires no special coding to implement and takes advantage of the computational power of modern MILP solvers. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the method is robust and efficient. CitationDept. of Business Analytics, … Read more
