Branch and Infer: A Unifying Framework for Integer and Finite Domain Constraint Programming
constraint abstractions into integer programming, and to discuss possible combinations of the two approaches. Combinatorial problems are ubiquitous in many real world applications ...

A Search-Infer-and-Relax Framework for Integrating Solution Methods
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...

Variable neighborhood search and local branching
In this paper we develop a variable neighborhood search (VNS) heuristic for solving mixed-integer programs (MIPs). It uses CPLEX, the general-purpose MIP solver, as a black-box. N...

Repairing MIP infeasibility through local branching
Finding a feasible solution to a generic Mixed-Integer Program (MIP) is often a very difficult task. Recently, two heuristic approaches called Feasibility Pump and Local Branching...
