    Description: This study investigates the progress made in LP and MILP solver performance during the last two decades by comparing the solver software from the beginning of the millennium with the codes available today. On average, we found out that for solving LP/MILP, computer hardware got about 20 times faster, and the algorithms improved by a factor of about nine for LP and around 50 for MILP, which gives a total speed-up of about 180 and 1,000 times, respectively. However, these numbers have a very high variance and they considerably underestimate the progress made on the algorithmic side: many problem instances can nowadays be solved within seconds, which the old codes are not able to solve within any reasonable time.

    Description: In this article, we propose an interval constraint programming method for globally solving catalog-based categorical optimization problems. It supports catalogs of arbitrary size and properties of arbitrary dimension, and does not require any modeling effort from the user. A novel catalog-based contractor (or filtering operator) guarantees consistency between the categorical properties and the existing catalog items. This results in an intuitive and generic approach that is exact, rigorous (robust to roundoff errors) and can be easily implemented in an off-the-shelf interval-based continuous solver that interleaves branching and constraint propagation. We demonstrate the validity of the approach on a numerical problem in which a categorical variable is described by a two-dimensional property space. A Julia prototype is available as open-source software under the MIT license.

    Description: Für die Energiesystemforschung sind Software-Modelle ein Kernelement zur Analyse von Szenarien. Das Forschungsprojekt UNSEEN hatte das Ziel eine bisher unerreichte Anzahl an modellbasierten Energieszenarien zu berechnen, um Unsicherheiten – vor allem unter Nutzung linear optimierender Energiesystem-Modelle - besser bewerten zu können. Hierfür wurden umfangreiche Parametervariationen auf Energieszenarien angewendet und das wesentliche methodische Hindernis in diesem Zusammenhang adressiert: die rechnerische Beherrschbarkeit der zu lösenden mathematischen Optimierungsprobleme. Im Vorläuferprojekt BEAM-ME wurde mit der Entwicklung und Anwendung des Open-Source-Lösers PIPS-IPM++ die Grundlage für den Einsatz von High-Performance-Computing (HPC) zur Lösung dieser Modelle gelegt. In UNSEEN war dieser Löser die zentrale Komponente eines Workflows, welcher zur Generierung, Lösung und multi-kriteriellen Bewertung von Energieszenarien auf dem Hochleistungscomputer JUWELS am Forschungszentrum Jülich implementiert wurde. Zur effizienten Generierung und Kommunikation von Modellinstanzen für Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung auf HPC wurde eine weitere Workflow-Komponente von der GAMS Software GmbH entwickelt: der Szenariogenerator. Bei der Weiterentwicklung von Lösungsalgorithmen für linear optimierende Energie-Systemmodelle standen gemischt-ganzzahlige Optimierungsprobleme im Fokus, welche für die Modellierung konkreter Infrastrukturen und Maßnahmen zur Umsetzung der Energiewende gelöst werden müssen. Die in diesem Zusammenhang stehenden Arbeiten zur Entwicklung von Algorithmen wurden von der Technischen Universität Berlin verantwortet. Bei Design und Implementierung dieser Methoden wurde sie vom Zuse Instituts Berlin unterstützt.

    Description: This paper proposes an almost feasible Sequential Linear Programming (afSLP) algorithm. In the first part, the practical limitations of previously proposed Feasible Sequential Linear Programming (FSLP) methods are discussed along with illustrative examples. Then, we present a generalization of FSLP based on a tolerance-tube method that addresses the shortcomings of FSLP. The proposed algorithm afSLP consists of two phases. Phase I starts from random infeasible points and iterates towards a relaxation of the feasible set. Once the tolerance-tube around the feasible set is reached, phase II is started and all future iterates are kept within the tolerance-tube. The novel method includes enhancements to the originally proposed tolerance-tube method that are necessary for global convergence. afSLP is shown to outperform FSLP and the state-of-the-art solver IPOPT on a SCARA robot optimization problem.
