Abstract:
This paper describes a heuristic algorithm for finding good feasible solutions of convex mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLPs). The algorithm we propose is a modification of the feasibility pump heuristic, in which we aim at balancing the two goals of quickly obtaining a feasible solution and preserving quality of the solution with respect to the original objective. The effectiveness and merits of the proposed algorithm are assessed by evaluation of extensive computational results from a set of 146 convex MINLP test problems. We also show how a set of user-defined parameters may be selected to strike a balance between low computation time and high solution quality. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2016
