Dynamic Programming For Data Independent Decision Sets

The contribution is a proof that there exist measurable versions of intermediate value functions, which reveals regularity in addition, and a verification theorems allow stating traditional problem specifications in the novel setting with mathematical rigor.

Semi-declarative Language for Combinatorial Search

Combinatorial search—finding solutions that meet constraints within an exponentially large space of candidates—underpins problems from hardware verification to scheduling and combinatorial design. The most successful approach in practice is Propositional Satisfiability (SAT) solving, but modelling a problem for a SAT s...

Decision-Tree Surrogates for Weak Counterfactual Explanations in Integer Optimization

The concept of counterfactual explanations (CEs) has recently gained increasing attention for deriving explanations of mathematical optimization problems. For a given problem, a counterfactual is an ideally minimal change in the mutable problem parameters such that an optimal solution of the changed problem exists fulf...

DD-suite: A cross-platform package to build Decision Diagrams for optimization purposes

Decision diagrams (DDs) have become a powerful tool for discrete optimization, supporting a wide range of algorithms that span cut-generation procedures, decomposition methods, and specialized branch-and-bound searches. Despite this growth, their adoption remains limited, partly because most existing DD code is tailore...

Right Answers, Costly Models: The Efficiency Gap in LLM-based Optimization Modeling

Optimization modeling formulates real-world decision problems as mathematical programs that solvers can use to find optimal decisions. Large language models (LLMs) can automate this process, but the resulting correct formulations can require substantial time and memory to construct and solve, limiting practical scalabi...
