    Current Projects

    I am interested in theoretical as well as algorithmic modeling and application aspects of integer programmming/combinatorial optimization. My current interests revolve around the integration of tools from Lagrangean relaxation and its extensions, and column/cut generation. Recently, I have been investigating the Convex Hull Relaxation (CHR) as a fast bounding tool for mixed-integer convex optimization problems with linear constraints, and as a heuristic tool for nonconvex MINLPs.

    I am working with colleagues on the solution of the quadratic assignment problem and extensions.

    Some of my recent research has been concerned with the solution of stochastic MILPs, with applications in forestry and in mining.

    Test Problems

    Three test problems for multi-item capacitated lotsizing with setup times. Data in GAMS format. Self-explanatory...

  • Problem f3r.inc (the hardest)
  • Problem f3q.inc
  • Problem f3p.inc

    be regarded as the 'cost' of achieving our countries'
