A Hybrid Benders' Decomposition Method for Solving Stochastic Constraint Programs with Linear Recourse
Abstract. We adopt Benders’ decomposition algorithm to solve scenariobased Stochastic Constraint Programs (SCPs) with linear recourse. Rather than attempting to solve SCPs via a ...

Solving Steel Mill Slab Problems with constraint-based techniques: CP, LNS, and CBLS
The Steel Mill Slab Problem is an optimization benchmark that has been studied for a long time in the constraint-programming community but was only solved efficiently in the two l...

Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Globally Optimizing Graph Partitioning Problems Using Message Passing
Graph partitioning algorithms play a central role in data analysis and machine learning. Most useful graph partitioning criteria correspond to optimizing a ratio between the cut a...

Solving Two-Stage Stochastic Steiner Tree Problems by Two-Stage Branch-and-Cut
Abstract. We consider the Steiner tree problem under a 2-stage stochastic model with recourse and finitely many scenarios (SSTP). Thereby, edges are purchased in the first stage wh...
