Title
Comparing MIQCP solvers to a specialised algorithm for mine production scheduling
Abstract
Abstract. This paper investigates the performance of several out-of- the-box solvers for mixed-integer quadratically constrained programmes (MIQCPs) on an open pit mine production scheduling problem with mix- ing constraints. We compare the solvers BARON, Couenne, SBB, and SCIP to a problem-specific algorithm on two different MIQCP formu- lations. The computational results presented show that general-purpose solvers with no particular knowledge,of problem structure are able to nearly match the performance of a hand-crafted algorithm.
