A note on sensitivity of value functions of mathematical programs with complementarity constraints
Using standard nonlinear programming (NLP) theory, we establish formulas for first and second order directional derivatives for optimal value functions of parametric mathematical ...

Self-Concordant Barriers for Convex Approximations of Structured Convex Sets
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...

A Graph-based Ant System and its convergence
: A general framework for solving combinatorial optimization problems heuristically by the Ant System approach is developed. The framework is based on the concept of a construction...

A Polynomial Combinatorial Algorithm for Generalized Minimum Cost Flow
We propose the first combinatorial solution to one of the most classic problems in combinatorial optimization: the generalized minimum cost flow problem (flow with losses and g...
