Automating Idealness Proofs for Binary Programs with Application to Rectangle Packing

Jamie Fravel, Robert Hildebrand

An integer program is called ideal if its continuous relaxation coincides with its convex hull allowing the problem to be solved as a continuous program and offering substantial co…

Random-Restart Best-Response Dynamics for Large-Scale Integer Programming Games and Their Applications

Hyunwoo Lee, Robert Hildebrand, Wenbo Cai +1

This paper presents scalable algorithms for computing pure Nash equilibria (PNEs) in large-scale integer programming games (IPGs), where existing exact methods typically handle onl…

Complexity of Integer Programming in Reverse Convex Sets via Boundary Hyperplane Cover

Robert Hildebrand, Adrian Göß

We study the complexity of identifying the integer feasibility of reverse convex sets. We present various settings where the complexity can be either NP-Hard or efficiently solvabl…

Job Shop Scheduling with Integer Programming, Shifting Bottleneck, and Decision Diagrams: A Computational Study

Brannon King, Robert Hildebrand

We study heuristic algorithms for job shop scheduling problems. We compare classical approaches, such as the shifting bottleneck heuristic with novel strategies using decision diag…

Automating Idealness Proofs for Binary Programs with Application to Rectangle Packing

Jamie Fravel, Robert Hildebrand

We develop an optimization framework for identifying ideal Mixed Binary Linear Programs (MBLP) which is linear when using known input data and nonconvex quadratic over parametric i…
