While often a strong relationship between different Steiner tree problem variants can be observed, solution approaches employed so far have been prevalently problem specific. In contrast, this paper introduces a general purpose solver that can be used to solve both the classical Steiner tree problem and many of its variants without modification. This is achieved by transforming various problem variants into a general form and solving them using a state-of-the-art MIP-framework. The result is a high-performance solver that can be employed in massively parallel environments and is capable of solving previously unsolved instances.}, language = {en} } @article{GamrathKochMartinetal., author = {Gamrath, Gerald and Koch, Thorsten and Martin, Alexander and Miltenberger, Matthias and Weninger, Dieter}, title = {Progress in presolving for mixed integer programming}, series = {Mathematical Programming Computation}, volume = {7}, journal = {Mathematical Programming Computation}, number = {4}, doi = {10.1007/s12532-015-0083-5}, pages = {367 -- 398}, abstract = {This paper describes three presolving techniques for solving mixed integer programming problems (MIPs) that were implemented in the academic MIP solver SCIP. The task of presolving is to reduce the problem size and strengthen the formulation, mainly by eliminating redundant information and exploiting problem structures. The first method fixes continuous singleton columns and extends results known from duality fixing. The second analyzes and exploits pairwise dominance relations between variables, whereas the third detects isolated subproblems and solves them independently. The performance of the presented techniques is demonstrated on two MIP test sets. One contains all benchmark instances from the last three MIPLIB versions, while the other consists of real-world supply chain management problems. The computational results show that the combination of all three presolving techniques almost halves the solving time for the considered supply chain management problems. For the MIPLIB instances we obtain a speedup of 20 \% on affected instances while not degrading the performance on the remaining problems.}, language = {en} } @incollection{GotzesHeineckeHilleretal., author = {Gotzes, Uwe and Heinecke, Nina and Hiller, Benjamin and R{\"o}vekamp, Jessica and Koch, Thorsten}, title = {Regulatory rules for gas markets in Germany and other European countries}, series = {Evaluating gas network capacities}, booktitle = {Evaluating gas network capacities}, publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics}, isbn = {978-1-611973-68-6}, pages = {45 -- 64}, language = {en} } @incollection{HaynHumpolaKochetal., author = {Hayn, Christine and Humpola, Jesco and Koch, Thorsten and Schewe, Lars and Schweiger, Jonas and Spreckelsen, Klaus}, title = {Perspectives}, series = {Evaluating Gas Network Capacities}, volume = {SIAM-MOS series on Optimization}, booktitle = {Evaluating Gas Network Capacities}, isbn = {9781611973686}, abstract = {After we discussed approaches to validate nominations and to verify bookings, we consider possible future research paths.
