Abstract:We describe a framework for reformulating and solving optimization problems that generalizes the well-known framework originally introduced by Benders. We discuss details of the application of the procedures to several classes of optimization problems that fall under the umbrella of multilevel/multistage mixed integer linear optimization problems. The application of this abstract framework to this broad class of problems provides new insights and a broader interpretation of the core ideas, especially as they r… Show more
