4 A. Separation over arbitrary mixed-integer sets

5 Problem Given a mixed-integer set P R n, a point x R n, find (α, α 0 ) R n+1 such that α T x α 0 is a valid inequality for P that separates x, or show that x conv(p).

6 Problem Given a mixed-integer set P R n, a point x R n, find (α, α 0 ) R n+1 such that α T x α 0 is a valid inequality for P that separates x, or show that x conv(p).

7 General framework Solve the optimization problem min x T α s.t. x T α α 0 for all x P <norm.> Let (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) be the optimal solution. If x T ᾱ < ᾱ 0, then (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) separates x. If x T ᾱ ᾱ 0, then x conv(p).

8 General framework Solve the optimization problem min x T α s.t. x T α α 0 for all x P <norm.> Let (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) be the optimal solution. If x T ᾱ < ᾱ 0, then (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) separates x. If x T ᾱ ᾱ 0, then x conv(p).

9 Row generation 1. Consider the relaxation of the separation problem min x T α s.t. x T α α 0 for all x S P <norm.> (master) Let (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) be an optimal solution. 2. Now solve the MIP min s.t. ᾱ T x x P (slave) and let x p be a finite optimal solution. If ᾱ T x p ᾱ 0, then (ᾱ, ᾱ 0 ) is valid for P. If ᾱ T x p < ᾱ 0, then S := S {x p }.
