For industrial organizations serious about AI value, objective functions can provide the critical link between technical capabilities and business outcomes.

We study the use of two types of dual-optimal inequalities to accelerate and stabilize the whole convergence process. Added to the dual formulation, these constraints are satisfied by all or a subset ...

We provide bounds on optimal objective function values and conditions under which reductions to simpler models can be made. Our solution method embeds a branch-and-cut scheme within a Monte Carlo ...
