Binary problem relaxation

This is the problem we looked at in class for the generators.

Notice that the only differences are:

  • the binary variables become positive variables, thepr
  • the problem is solved as an LP not an MIP
  • the constraints for .LO and .UP are added, where required, depending on the partial solution solved

Example problem to practice

The objective is to maximize the objective function value, \(z\). The table or partial solutions is provided below. The only constraints are that all the 3 search variables must be binary (0 or 1). The "relaxed" refers to the relaxed problem solution.

4G3-2015-MIP-Practice-problem.png

Use the depth-first search method, and when branching, choose the branch with \(x_i = 0\) before the \(x_i=1\) branch.

If you do this, your nodes will have the following solution order:

Node 0 \((z=82.80)\)

Node 1 \((z=80.67)\)

Node 2 \((z=28.00)\) [incumbent]

Node 3 \((z=79.4)\)

Node 4 \((z=\text{Infeasible})\)

Node 5 \((z=77.00)\) [incumbent; turns out this is the eventual optimum]

Node 6 \((z=74.00)\)

[The end: can you prove why?]

free variable MeanComp   "Mean completion time";
positive variables x(j)  "Start time of job j";
binary variables y(j,jp) "Disjunctive variable for j and jp";
