September 27 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Efficient Branching Rules for Optimizing Range and Order-Based Objective Functions 1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison We consider range minimization problems featuring exponentially many variables, as frequently arising in fairness-oriented or bi-objective optimization. While branch and price is successful at solving cost-oriented problems with many variables, the performance of classical branch-and-price algorithms for range minimization is drastically impaired by weak linear programming relaxations. We propose range branching, a generic branching... Free
