The travelling salesman problem (TSP) of space trajectory design is complicated by its complex structure design space. The graph based tree search and stochastic seeding combinatorial approaches are commonly employed to tackle the time-dependent TSP due to their combinatorial nature. In this paper, a new continuous optimization strategy for the mixed integer combinatorial problem is proposed. The space trajectory combinatorial problem is tackled using continuous gradient based method. A continuous mapping technique is developed to map the integer type ID of targets on the sequence to a set of continuous design variables. Expected flyby targets are introduced as references and used as priori to select the candidate target to fly by. Bayesian based analysis is employed to model accumulated posterior of the sequence and a new objective function with quadratic form constraints is constructed. The new introduced auxiliary design variables of expected targets together with the original design variables are set to be optimized. A gradient based optimizer is used to search optimal sequence parameter. Performances of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through a multiple debris rendezvous problem and a static TSP benchmark.

We propose a dual dynamic integer programming (DDIP) framework for solving multi-scale mixed-integer model predictive control (MPC) problems. Such problems arise in applications that involve long horizons and/or fine temporal discretizations as well as mixed-integer states and controls (e.g., scheduling logic and discrete actuators). The approach uses a nested cutting-plane scheme that performs forward and backward sweeps along the time horizon to adaptively approximate cost-to-go functions. The DDIP scheme proposed can handle general MPC formulations with mixed-integer controls and states and can perform forward-backward sweeps over block time partitions. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme by solving mixed-integer MPC problems that arise in the scheduling of central heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) plants. We show that the proposed scheme is scalable and dramatically outperforms state-of-the-art mixed-integer solvers.
Designing networks with specified collective properties is useful in a variety of application areas, enabling the study of how given properties affect the behavior of network models, the downscaling of empirical networks to workable sizes, and the an alysis of network evolution. Despite the importance of the task, there currently exists a gap in our ability to systematically generate networks that adhere to theoretical guarantees for the given property specifications. In this paper, we propose the use of Mixed-Integer Linear Optimization modeling and solution methodologies to address this Network Generation Problem. We present a number of useful modeling techniques and apply them to mathematically express and constrain network properties in the context of an optimization formulation. We then develop complete formulations for the generation of networks that attain specified levels of connectivity, spread, assortativity and robustness, and we illustrate these via a number of computational case studies.

We present a gradient-based algorithm for unconstrained minimization derived from iterated linear change of basis. The new method is equivalent to linear conjugate gradient in the case of a quadratic objective function. In the case of exact line sear ch it is a secant method. In practice, it performs comparably to BFGS and DFP and is sometimes more robust.
We study the problem of learning a linear model to set the reserve price in an auction, given contextual information, in order to maximize expected revenue from the seller side. First, we show that it is not possible to solve this problem in polynomi al time unless the emph{Exponential Time Hypothesis} fails. Second, we present a strong mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for this problem, which is capable of exactly modeling the nonconvex and discontinuous expected reward function. Moreover, we show that this MIP formulation is ideal (i.e. the strongest possible formulation) for the revenue function of a single impression. Since it can be computationally expensive to exactly solve the MIP formulation in practice, we also study the performance of its linear programming (LP) relaxation. Though it may work well in practice, we show that, unfortunately, in the worst case the optimal objective of the LP relaxation can be O(number of samples) times larger than the optimal objective of the true problem. Finally, we present computational results, showcasing that the MIP formulation, along with its LP relaxation, are able to achieve superior in- and out-of-sample performance, as compared to state-of-the-art algorithms on both real and synthetic datasets. More broadly, we believe this work offers an indication of the strength of optimization methodologies like MIP to exactly model intrinsic discontinuities in machine learning problems.
The Double Travelling Salesman Problem with Multiple Stacks, DTSPMS, deals with the collect and delivery of n commodities in two distinct cities, where the pickup and the delivery tours are related by LIFO constraints. During the pickup tour, commodi ties are loaded into a container of k rows, or stacks, with capacity c. This paper focuses on computational aspects of the DTSPMS, which is NP-hard. We first review the complexity of two critical subproblems: deciding whether a given pair of pickup and delivery tours is feasible and, given a loading plan, finding an optimal pair of pickup and delivery tours, are both polynomial under some conditions on k and c. We then prove a (3k)/2 standard approximation for the MinMetrickDTSPMS, where k is a universal constant, and other approximation results for vario
