Is there a way to calcuate the maximum number of cuts in a Benders decomposition?

Since the benders algorithm is finite, there a maximum number of cuts that could theoretically be added. The worst case is that I add cuts for all extreme points and all extreme rays that are part of ...

How do you derive the Benders feasibility cuts?

starting off with a MIP that I want to solve using Benders. so in Benders Decomposition, you add feasibility cuts in the following form: $v^j (b - Ax) \geq 0$ with $j \in J$ being the set of extreme ...

About Mathematical Programs

I am dealing with the following problem as follows. $$\min \sum_{i,j}( x_{i}+y_{j}+q_{ij}+w_{i})$$ $$\text{s.t.} x_{i}+y_{j}+q_{ij}+w_{i} \geq b_{ij}, \forall i,j$$ Is it possible to handle this ...

Benders with MINLP subproblem as the pricing problem of Dantzig Wolfe

I have a convex MINLP that after a Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation, passes most of the difficulty onto the pricing problem, which becomes a convex MINLP itself. The pricing problem should be solvable with ...

Minimizing sum of similar functions with a dependence

Consider an objective function in the form of minimization of maximization that is the sum of $N$ similar functions $f\left(x\right)\ge 0$, $\ \forall x$. The summation of all variables is constant (e....

Multi-Stage Stochastic Decomposition

I have a multi-stage model with both binary and continuous first-stage investment variables and continuous operational next-stage variables: $$ \sum_{s} \rho_{s} \left[ x_{s} + y_{s} + \sum_{t}(y^{op}...

What is the go-to practical method for optimizing separable quadratic programs?

I have a quadratic program that looks like this: For fixed vector $b$, and matrices $A_1, ..., A_n$, Find column vectors $x_1, ..., x_n$ that minimize $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i ^T 1 1^T x_i$ subject to $\sum_{...
