An Efficient Algorithm for Unbalanced 1D Transportation

Optimal transport (OT) and unbalanced optimal transport (UOT) are central in many machine learning, statistics and engineering applications. 1D OT is easily solved, with complexity O(n log n), but no efficient algorithm was known for 1D UOT. We present a new approach that leverages the successive shortest path algorithm for the corresponding network flow problem. By employing a suitable representation, we bundle together multiple steps that do not change the cost of the shortest path. We prove that our algorithm solves 1D UOT in O(n log n), closing the gap.

Mixed-Integer Programming for the ROADEF/EURO 2020 challenge

In this paper, we present a novel approach for solving a maintenance scheduling problem from the French electricity grid company RTE, as presented in the ROADEF 2020 challenge. Our approach combines constraint generation with a new family of cutting planes to address the nonconvexity of the problem. We provide mathematical proofs and separation algorithms for the cutting planes and study the practical impact of our approach on the challenge instances. This method is applicable to a wide range of problems involving the modeling of uncertainty, and is shown to improve results significantly on real-world instances.
