Randomization and Performance Improvement for Integer Optimal Control with Total Variation Regularization

Robert Baraldi, Paul Manns, Lars Mösezahl +1

Mixed-integer PDE-constrained optimization problems are computationally challenging due to both the combinatorial nature of integer programming as well as evaluation of the model.…

Optimizing the Principal Coefficient of Elliptic Equations using -regularity,

Ala' Alalabi, Lorena Bociu, Paul Manns

We study coefficient identification problems for elliptic partial differential equations with total variation regularization and control constraints. Existing related literature re…

McCormick envelopes in mixed-integer PDE-constrained optimization

Sven Leyffer, Paul Manns

McCormick envelopes are a standard tool for deriving convex relaxations of optimization problems that involve polynomial terms. Such McCormick relaxations provide lower bounds, for…

Domain decomposition for integer optimal control with total variation regularization

Robert Baraldi, Paul Manns

Total variation integer optimal control problems admit solutions and necessary optimality conditions via geometric variational analysis. In spite of the existence of said solutions…

Discretization of Total Variation in Optimization with Integrality Constraints

Annika Schiemann, Paul Manns

We introduce discretizations of infinite-dimensional optimization problems with total variation regularization and integrality constraints on the optimization variables. We advance…
