Density Frankl–Rödl on the Sphere

Authors: Venkatesan Guruswami and Shilun Li

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 353, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2025)

Abstract
We establish a density variant of the Frankl–Rödl theorem on the sphere 𝕊^{n-1}, which concerns avoiding pairs of vectors with a specific distance, or equivalently, a prescribed inner product. In particular, we establish lower bounds on the probability that a randomly chosen pair of such vectors lies entirely within a measurable subset A ⊆ 𝕊^{n-1} of sufficiently large measure. Additionally, we prove a density version of spherical avoidance problems, which generalize from pairwise avoidance to broader configurations with prescribed pairwise inner products. Our framework encompasses a class of configurations we call inductive configurations, which include simplices with any prescribed inner product -1 < r < 1. As a consequence of our density statement, we show that all inductive configurations are sphere Ramsey.

Sparsity-Driven Aggregation of Mixed Integer Programs

Authors: Liding Xu, Gioni Mexi, and Ksenia Bestuzheva

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 338, 23rd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2025)

Abstract
Cutting planes are crucial for the performance of branch-and-cut algorithms for solving mixed-integer programming (MIP) problems, and linear row aggregation has been successfully applied to better leverage the potential of several major families of MIP cutting planes. This paper formulates the problem of finding good quality aggregations as an 𝓁₀-norm minimization problem and employs a combination of the lasso method and iterative reweighting to efficiently find sparse solutions corresponding to good aggregations. A comparative analysis of the proposed algorithm and the state-of-the-art greedy heuristic approach is presented, showing that the greedy heuristic implements a stepwise selection algorithm for the 𝓁₀-norm minimization problem. Further, we present an example where our approach succeeds, whereas the standard heuristic fails to find an aggregation with desired properties. The algorithm is implemented within the constraint integer programming solver SCIP, and computational experiments on the MIPLIB 2017 benchmark show that although the algorithm leads to slowdowns on relatively "easier" instances, our aggregation approach decreases the mean running time on a subset of challenging instances and leads to smaller branch-and-bound trees.

Designing and Implementing Algorithms for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization (Dagstuhl Seminar 18081)

Authors: Pierre Bonami, Ambros M. Gleixner, Jeff Linderoth, and Ruth Misener

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2 (2018)

Abstract
Mathematical models for optimal decisions often require both nonlinear and discrete components. These mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLP) may be used to optimize the energy use of large industrial plants, integrate renewable sources into energy networks, design biological and biomedical systems, and address numerous other applications of societal importance. The first MINLP algorithms and software were designed by application engineers. While these efforts initially proved useful, scientists, engineers, and practitioners have realized that a transformational shift in technology will be required for MINLP to achieve its full potential. MINLP has transitioned to a forefront position in computer science, with researchers actively developing MINLP theory, algorithms, and implementations. Even with their concerted effort, algorithms and available software are often unable to solve practically-sized instances of these important models. Current obstacles include characterizing the computability boundary, effectively exploiting known optimization technologies for specialized classes of MINLP, and effectively using logical formulas holistically throughout algorithms.
