We describe a cut-generation algorithm for a class of bivariate twice continuously differentiable functions with fixed convexity behavior over a box. Computational results comparing our cut-generation algorithms with state-of-the-art global optimization software on a series of randomly generated test instances are reported and discussed.}, language = {en} } @misc{BertholdGleixnerHeinzetal., author = {Berthold, Timo and Gleixner, Ambros and Heinz, Stefan and Vigerske, Stefan}, title = {Analyzing the computational impact of MIQCP solver components}, issn = {1438-0064}, doi = {10.3934/naco.2012.2.739}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-17754}, abstract = {We provide a computational study of the performance of a state-of-the-art solver for nonconvex mixed-integer quadratically constrained programs (MIQCPs). Since successful general-purpose solvers for large problem classes necessarily comprise a variety of algorithmic techniques, we focus especially on the impact of the individual solver components. The solver SCIP used for the experiments implements a branch-and-cut algorithm based on a linear relaxation to solve MIQCPs to global optimality. Our analysis is based on a set of 86 publicly available test instances.}, language = {en} }
