Optimization via Polyhedral Omega

Use PO-based exact counting/enumeration to design exact and hybrid optimization methods for integer programs.

difficult master phd

Goal: Bridge PO-based exact counting with optimization — solve or accelerate ILPs and structured integer programs using information extracted by Polyhedral Omega.

Threads

  1. PO → objective bounds for knapsack-like families
  2. PO-informed cutting planes
  3. Hybrid methods with classical solvers
