In this paper, we follow that path in order to extend another essential subroutine of modern MIP solvers towards the case of nonlinear optimization: the analysis of infeasible subproblems for learning additional valid constraints. To this end, we derive two different strategies, geared towards two different solution approaches. These are using local dual proofs of infeasibility for LP-based branch-and-bound and the creation of nonlinear dual proofs for NLP-based branch-and-bound, respectively. We discuss implementation details of both approaches and present an extensive computational study, showing that both techniques can significantly enhance performance when solving MINLPs to global optimality.}, language = {en} } @misc{BestuzhevaBesanconChenetal., author = {Bestuzheva, Ksenia and Besan{\c{c}}on, Mathieu and Chen, Wei-Kun and Chmiela, Antonia and Donkiewicz, Tim and van Doornmalen, Jasper and Eifler, Leon and Gaul, Oliver and Gamrath, Gerald and Gleixner, Ambros and Gottwald, Leona and Graczyk, Christoph and Halbig, Katrin and Hoen, Alexander and Hojny, Christopher and van der Hulst, Rolf and Koch, Thorsten and L{\"u}bbecke, Marco and Maher, Stephen J. and Matter, Frederic and M{\"u}hmer, Erik and M{\"u}ller, Benjamin and Pfetsch, Marc E. and Rehfeldt, Daniel and Schlein, Steffan and Schl{\"o}sser, Franziska and Serrano, Felipe and Shinano, Yuji and Sofranac, Boro and Turner, Mark and Vigerske, Stefan and Wegscheider, Fabian and Wellner, Philipp and Weninger, Dieter and Witzig, Jakob}, title = {The SCIP Optimization Suite 8.0}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-85309}, abstract = {The SCIP Optimization Suite provides a collection of software packages for mathematical optimization centered around the constraint integer programming framework SCIP. This paper discusses enhancements and extensions contained in version 8.0 of the SCIP Optimization Suite. Major updates in SCIP include improvements in symmetry handling and decomposition algorithms, new cutting planes, a new plugin type for cut selection, and a complete rework of the way nonlinear constraints are handled. Additionally, SCIP 8.0 now supports interfaces for Julia as well as Matlab. Further, UG now includes a unified framework to parallelize all solvers, a utility to analyze computational experiments has been added to GCG, dual solutions can be postsolved by PaPILO, new heuristics and presolving methods were added to SCIP-SDP, and additional problem classes and major performance improvements are available in SCIP-Jack.}, language = {en} }
