EE364a , Winter 2007-08 Prof. S. BoydEE364a Homework 5 of Boolean aBoolean linear program, the variablexis constrainedto have components equal to zero or one:minimizecTxsubject toAx bxi {0,1}, i= 1, .. , n.(1)In general, such problems are very difficult to solve, even though the feasible set isfinite (containing at most 2npoints).In a general method calledrelaxation, the constraint thatxibe zero or one is replacedwith the linear inequalities 0 xi 1:minimizecTxsubject toAx b0 xi 1, i= 1, .. , n.(2)We refer to this problem as theLP relaxationof the Boolean LP ( ). The LPrelaxation is far easier to solve than the original Boolean LP.(a) Show that the optimal value of the lp relaxation ( ) isa lower bound on theoptimal value of the Boolean LP ( ). What can you say about the Boolean LPif the lp relaxation is infeasible?(b) It sometimes happens that the lp relaxation has a solution withxi {0,1}.
We refer to this problem as the LP relaxation of the Boolean LP (4.67). The LP relaxation is far easier to solve than the original Boolean LP. (a) Show that the optimal value of the LP relaxation (4.68) is a lower bound on the optimal value of the Boolean LP (4.67). What can you say about the Boolean LP if the LP relaxation is infeasible? (b ...
