OptiRepair: Closed-Loop Diagnosis and Repair of Supply Chain Optimization Models with LLM Agents

Ruicheng Ao, David Simchi-Levi, Xinshang Wang

Supply chain optimization models frequently become infeasible because of modeling errors. Diagnosis and repair require scarce OR expertise: analysts must interpret solver diagnosti…

Expressive Power of Graph Neural Networks for (Mixed-Integer) Quadratic Programs

Ziang Chen, Xiaohan Chen, Jialin Liu +2

Quadratic programming (QP) is the most widely applied category of problems in nonlinear programming. Many applications require real-time/fast solutions, though not necessarily with…

Rethinking the Capacity of Graph Neural Networks for Branching Strategy

Ziang Chen, Jialin Liu, Xiaohan Chen +2

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely used to predict properties and heuristics of mixed-integer linear programs (MILPs) and hence accelerate MILP solvers. This paper inves…

Efficient Algorithms for Sum-of-Minimum Optimization

Lisang Ding, Ziang Chen, Xinshang Wang +1

In this work, we propose a novel optimization model termed "sum-of-minimum" optimization. This model seeks to minimize the sum or average of objective functions over parame…

On Representing Mixed-Integer Linear Programs by Graph Neural Networks

Ziang Chen, Jialin Liu, Xinshang Wang +2

While Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is NP-hard in general, practical MILP has received roughly 100--fold speedup in the past twenty years. Still, many classes of MILPs qu…

Near-Optimal Primal-Dual Algorithms for Quantity-Based Network Revenue Management

Rui Sun, Xinshang Wang, Zijie Zhou

We study the canonical quantity-based network revenue management (NRM) problem where the decision-maker must irrevocably accept or reject each arriving customer request with the go…

The Lingering of Gradients: Theory and Applications

Zeyuan Allen-Zhu, David Simchi-Levi, Xinshang Wang

Classically, the time complexity of a first-order method is estimated by its number of gradient computations. In this paper, we study a more refined complexity by taking into accou…

Online Resource Allocation with Customer Choice

Guillermo Gallego, Anran Li, Van-Anh Truong +1

We introduce a general model of resource allocation with customer choice. In this model, there are multiple resources that are available over a finite horizon. The resources are no…
