### Appropriate Rotation Matrix in Nonconvex Optimization with Barrier

Let $x \in \mathbb{R}^n_+$ be a variable such that $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = 1$. In other words, $x$ is in a probability simplex. I am working on barrier-like functions in nonconvex optimization over such ...

### What are examples of integral polytopes, where there exists an algorithm to write a given point as a convex combination of integral points?

Given a set of integer points $S$, one is often interested in finding $\operatorname{conv}(S)$ or characterizing certain cases, where $\operatorname{conv}(S)$ is described by few inequalities. ...

### Polyhedra to Simplex by using convex combination of vertices

Optimization problems over linear constraints (defining a convex polyhedron) can be written as optimization over a simplex in a higher dimension. Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a bounded polyhedron, and the ...

### Theoretical aspect of using extended formulation

If I can show a polyhedron Y is an extended formulation of polyhedron X and every extreme point in Y is integral, does that automatically imply the projection of Y onto the variable space of X gives ...

### How to find all vertices of a polyhedron

I have a convex polyhedron given by a set of linear inequalities, for example: $$x_1 \geq 0,~~ x_2 \geq 0, ~~x_3\geq 0 \\ x_1+x_2\leq 1,~~ x_2+x_3\leq 1,~~ x_3+x_1\leq 1$$ I want to list all the ...

### Estimation of the number of optimum vertices

Consider any linear programming model of $n$ variables and $m$ constraints which has multiple optimum solutions. If it is possible, I'd like to know the lower and upper limits (in terms of $n$, $m$ ...

### Solving convex programs defined by separation oracles?

General question: What software can solve convex programs defined by a separation oracle? The objective function is concave, and the feasible set is a polytope. By a separation oracle I mean that I ...

### Finding the linear functions defining a polyhedron through integer data?

Let's say I have a bunch of linear functions $f_1,\cdots,f_n$ in $k$ variables; then $f_1,\cdots, f_n\le0$ defines a polyhedron $P$ in the $k$-dimensional space. What I'm looking for is going the ...

### Is the “reverse search” algorithm of David Avis the state-of-the-art method for finding discrete solutions to a system of linear inequalities?

Is the "reverse search" algorithm of David Avis the state-of-the-art method for finding discrete solutions to a system of linear inequalities? If it is not, then what is? For $m$ inequalities in $d$ ...

### What are the top three applications (in terms of number of citations) of the “reverse search” algorithm of David Avis?

I can see that this algorithm is quite popular, and that one of the original papers now has 820 citations on Google Scholar. However, what are the most highly cited applications of it? If in Google ...

### How to compare two different formulations of a problem?

I somewhat know how to compare two MILP formulations of a problem that both use the same set of decision variables (as in the classical MTZ vs DFJ formulations of the TSP). I was wondering how two ...
I have a polyhedral set for constraining $x$: \begin{align} \mathcal{P} = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^n_{+} : \ Dx \leq d \} \end{align} where $D \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}, d \in \mathbb{R}^m$. I find the ...
