The problem is first transformed into a problem with quadratic objective and 0-1 integer variables. The dual problem of the 0-1 programming problem is thus constructed by using the canonical duality theory. Under appropriate conditions, this dual problem is a maximization problem of a concave function over a convex continuous space. Numerical simulation studies, including some large scale problems, are carried out so as to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the method proposed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-04T03:57:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "global optimal solution", "inequality constraints", "quadratic discrete value selection problem", "dual problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1205.0856R" } } }
