This paper defines the cover of a formula with respect to a set of variables V in theory T to be the strongest quantifier-free formula that is implied by V : in theory T. Cover e...
Abstract Within the context of solving Mixed-Integer Linear Programs by a Branch-andCut algorithm, we propose a new strategy for branching. Computational experiments show that, on ...
in an abstract Cartesian space of program versions characterized by dialect variables. An optimal solution to the problem is derived based on its translation to a restricted Intege...
A soft global constraint SOFTPREC has been proposed recently for solving optimisation problems involving precedence relations. In this paper we present new pruning rules for this g...

In an important paper, Burer [2] recently showed how to reformulate general mixed-binary quadratic optimization problems (QPs) into copositive programs where a linear functional i...
