    Decision Diagrams for Discrete Optimization

    • Willem-Jan van Hoeve, prés., Carnegie Mellon University

    This tutorial provides an overview of the recent successful
    application of multivalued decision diagrams (MDDs) to represent and
    solve discrete optimization problems.

    The first part of the tutorial introduces limited-size MDDs to
    obtain upper and lower bounds for integer optimization problems. The
    resulting discrete bounds can be much stronger than continuous bounds
    based on linear programming, while being faster to compute. We
    present computational results on classical optimization problems
    including maximum independent set, maximum cut, and set covering
    problems.

    In the second part we discuss the use of MDDs in the context of
    constraint-based scheduling. In particular, we show how MDDs can be
    effectively applied to solve complex disjunctive scheduling problems.
    The resulting technology can outperform state-of-the-art industrial CP
    solvers by orders of magnitude in certain cases.
