Ten years of feasibility pump, and counting

The Feasibility Pump (fp) is probably the best-known primal heuristic for mixed-integer programming. The original work by Fischetti et al. (Math Program 104(1):91\u2013104, 2005), which introduced the heuristic for 0\u20131 mixed-integer linear programs, has been succeeded by more than twenty follow-up publications which improve the performance of the fp and extend it to other problem classes. Year 2015 was the tenth anniversary of the first fp publication. The present paper provides an overview of the diverse Feasibility Pump literature that has been presented over the last decade

Lagrangian Decomposition for Classical Planning (Extended Abstract)

Optimal cost partitioning of classical planning heuristics has been shown to lead to excellent heuristic values but is often prohibitively expensive to compute. We analyze the application of Lagrangian decomposition, a classical tool in mathematical programming, to cost partitioning of operator-counting heuristics. This allows us to view the computation as an iterative process that can be seeded with any cost partitioning and that improves over time. In the case of non-negative cost partitioning of abstraction heuristics the computation reduces to independent shortest path problems and does not require an LP solver
