Abstract

The efficient numerical treatment of convex quadratic mixed-integer optimization poses a challenging problem. Therefore, we introduce a method based on the duality principle for convex problems to derive suitable lower bounds that can used to select the next node to be solved within the branch-and-bound tree. Numerical results indicate that the new bounds allow the tree search to be evaluated quite efficiently compared to benchmark solvers.
