Combinatorial Benders' Cuts for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming
Mixed-Integer Programs (MIP's) involving logical implications modelled through big-M coefficients, are notoriously among the hardest to solve. In this paper we propose and an...

Constraint-Based Optimization with the Minimax Decision Criterion
Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...

An Integer Local Search Method with Application to Capacitated Production Planning
Production planning is an important task in manufacturing systems. We consider a real-world capacitated lot-sizing problem (CLSP) from the process industry. Because the problem re...
