On the Relationship Between the Value Function and the Efficient Frontier of a Mixed Integer Linear Optimization Problem

Samira Fallah, Ted K. Ralphs, Natashia L. Boland

In this study, we investigate the connection between the efficient frontier (EF) of a general multiobjective mixed integer linear optimization problem (MILP) and the so-called rest…

Maximising Throughput in a Complex Coal Export System

Mateus Rocha de Paula, Natashia Boland, Andreas Ernst +2

The Port of Newcastle features three coal export terminals, operating primarily in cargo assembly mode, that share a rail network on their inbound side, and a channel on their outb…

Combining Progressive Hedging with a Frank-Wolfe Method to Compute Lagrangian Dual Bounds in Stochastic Mixed-Integer Programming

Natashia Boland, Jeffrey Christiansen, Brian Dandurand +3

We present a new primal-dual algorithm for computing the value of the Lagrangian dual of a stochastic mixed-integer program (SMIP) formed by relaxing its nonanticipativity constrai…

A parallelizable augmented Lagrangian method applied to large-scale non-convex-constrained optimization problems

Brian Dandurand, Natashia Boland, Jeffrey Christiansen +2

We contribute improvements to a Lagrangian dual solution approach applied to large-scale optimization problems whose objective functions are convex, continuously differentiable and…

A polynomially solvable case of the pooling problem

Natashia Boland, Thomas Kalinowski, Fabian Rigterink

Answering a question of Haugland, we show that the pooling problem with one pool and a bounded number of inputs can be solved in polynomial time by solving a polynomial number of l…

Bounding the gap between the McCormick relaxation and the convex hull for bilinear functions

Natashia Boland, Santanu S. Dey, Thomas Kalinowski +2

We investigate how well the graph of a bilinear function can be approximated by its McCormick relaxation. In particular, we are interested in the smallest…
