Lot sizing problem: how to add these cuts efficiently
Consider the set of constraints of the uncapacitated lot sizing problem:
$$
\{(x,s,y)\in \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{R}^n_+ \times \mathbb{B}^n \;|\;s_{t-1}+x_t = d_t+s_t,\; x_t \le My_t,\; t=1,\...

Is there a closed-form solution for $\max_D \operatorname{Tr}(ADBD)$
Is there a closed-form solution for
$$\max_D \operatorname{Tr}(ADBD)$$
where $D$ is a $N\times N$ diagonal matrix with $m<N$ number of $1$'s and the rest are $0$'s, and $A$ and $B$ are real ...

Convex integer program with totally unimodular constraints
Suppose I have a convex (nonlinear) integer program with totally unimodular linear constraints. What are sufficient conditions one can impose on the convex objective function such that relaxing the ...

Does Barvinok's algorithm apply to convex integer program?
Barvinok provided a counting algorithm to count number of integer solutions to integer linear program that runs in polynomial time if the number of integer variables is fixed.
If we have convex ...

When are quadratic integer programs "easy to solve"?
Let $N_i=\{0,1,\dots,\bar{n}_i\}$ and define $N=N_1\times \dots \times N_I$. I want to maximize $f$ on $N$. $f$ has the following form
$$
f(n) = \sum_i A_i n_i -\sum_i \sum_{j\neq i} B_{ij} (n_i-n_j)^...

Convex integer programming on totally unimodular polytope?
If
$$\min x'Qx + Rx$$
$$Ax\leq b$$
$$x\in\mathbb Z^n$$
is a quadratic program with $x'Qx$ is convex is there a polynomial time algorithm for this if $A$ is totally unimodular?
In particular if we ask ...

Discrete primal-duality in optimization
I would like to inquire about the existence of something perhaps similar to the duality theorem in the convex analysis or convex programming in the discrete setting. Here is a concrete example.
Let $...

Reference request: Edmond's Algorithm for integer hull
I'm looking for a good reference for the algorithm (supposedly by Edmonds) to compute the integer hull of a polytope, not by cutting plane methods but by starting with a set of integer points and then ...
