ABSTRACT
In a recent paper, Z. Drezner and A. J. Goldman address the problem of determining the smallest set among those containing at least one optimal solution to every Weber problem based on a set of demand points in the plane. In the case of arbitrary mixed gauges (i.e., possibly nonsymmetric norms), the authors have shown that the set of strictly efficient points which are also intersection points always meets the set of Weber solutions. As shown by Drezner and Goldman, this set is optimal with the l1 or lx distance but is not optimal with the lp distance, 1

Given a polyhedron $$L$$ with $$h$$ facets, whose interior contains no integral points, and a polyhedron $$P$$, recent work in integer programming has focused on characterizing the convex hull of $$P$$ minus the interior of $$L$$. We show that to obtain such a characterization it suffices to...

In this paper, we derive a closed-form characterization of the convex hull of a generic nonlinear set, when this convex hull is completely determined by orthogonal restrictions of the original set. Although the tools used in this construction include disjunctive programming and convex...

Abstract. The three-dimensional orthogonal packing problem consists of filling a big rectangular box with as many small rectangular boxes as possible. In a recent paper G. Fasano (Alenia Aerospazio, Turin) has given a mixed-integer programming formulation of this problem. Here we extend Fasano's...

We present and study a mixed integer programming model that arises as a substructure in many industrial applications. This model generalizes a number of structured MIP models previously studied, and it provides a relaxation of various capacitated production planning problems and other fixed...

This paper addresses the question of decomposing an infinite family of rational polyhedra in an integer fashion. It is shown that there is a finite subset of this family that generates the entire family. Moreover, an integer analogue of CarathÃ©odory's theorem carries over to this general...

We study a special case of a structured mixed integer programming model that arises in production planning. For the most general case of the model, called PI, we have earlier identified families of facetï¿½defining valid inequalities: (l, S) inequalities (introduced for the uncapacitated...

The problem of minimizing $${\tilde f=f+p}$$ over some convex subset of a Euclidean space is investigated, where f( x) = x Ax + b x is strictly convex and | p| is only assumed to be bounded by some positive number s. It is shown that the function $${\tilde f}$$ is strictly outer ?-convex for any...

For multicriteria convex optimization problems, new nonadaptive methods are proposed for polyhedral approximation of the multidimensional Edgeworth-Pareto hull (EPH), which is a maximal set having the same Pareto frontier as the set of feasible criteria vectors. The methods are based on...
