Split Cuts and Separable Underestimator for non-convex quadratic problems |
Description: |
Emiliano Traversi In this work we investigate the computational potential of two tools for solving non-convex quadratic problems: split inequalities and separable underestimator. Split inequalities were first introduced by Letchford and further examined by Burer and Letchford. For small instances with box-constraints, we show that the resulting dual bounds are very tight.The gap can be further decreased by separating so-called non-standard split inequalities, which we examine in the case of ternary variables.Separable underestimator are used for solving constrained quadratic binary programming. Dual bounds are computed by choosing appropriate underestimators of the objective function that are separable but not necessarily convex. We explain how to embed this approach into a branch-and-bound algorithm and present experimental results for several classes of combinatorial optimization problems, including the quadratic shortest path problem, for which we provide the first exact approach available in the literature. |
