arXiv:2606.07403v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benders decomposition is a fundamental framework for solving large-scale mixed-integer optimization problems with complicating variables that, when fixed, yield significantly easier subproblems. However, classical Benders decomposition repeatedly solves highly similar subproblems and often exhibits zigzagging behavior across iterations, leading to slow convergence in large-scale settings. Motivated by the repetitive structure and parametric nature of Benders subproblems, this paper introduces the proxy Benders decomposition (Proxy-BD), a new de
The increasing complexity and scale of AI and optimization problems necessitate more efficient algorithms for large-scale mixed-integer optimization, pushing research into areas like proxy Benders decomposition.
Improved optimization algorithms directly impact the feasibility and efficiency of solving complex problems in various fields, including logistics, resource allocation, and potentially large-scale AI model training and deployment.
The introduction of Proxy Benders Decomposition offers a potentially more efficient method for tackling large-scale mixed-integer optimization, mitigating issues like slow convergence and repetitive subproblem solving inherent in classical approaches.
