This is joint
work with Yongpei Guan and Shabbir Ahmed. We begin by presenting
a new method for combining linear inequalities for (mixed) 0-1
integer programming to obtain new inequalities. We then present
an application of this procedure to multi-stage stochastic integer
programming. The basic idea is that inequalities for individual
scenarios can be combined to obtain new inequalities for many
scenarios. In stochastic programming terminology we extend inequalities
for paths in a scenario tree to subtrees. These new inequalities
are very useful computationally in a branch-and-cut algorithm.
We demonstrate this by providing computational results for solving
stochastic uncapacitated lot-sizing problems. |
