DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/MIP2021/33/"
 >Conic Mixed-Binary Sets: Convex Hull Characterizations and Applications</
 a>\nby Fatma Kılınç-Karzan (Carnegie Mellon University) as part of Mixe
 d Integer Programming Workshop 2021\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider a general c
 onic mixed-binary set where each homogeneous conic constraint involves an 
 affine function of independent continuous variables and an epigraph variab
 le associated with a nonnegative function\, $f_j$\, of common binary varia
 bles. Sets of this form naturally arise as substructures in a number of ap
 plications including mean-risk optimization\, chance-constrained problems\
 , portfolio optimization\, lot-sizing and scheduling\, fractional programm
 ing\, variants of the best subset selection problem\, and distributionally
  robust chance-constrained programs. When all of the functions $f_j$s are 
 submodular\, we give a convex hull description of this set that relies on 
 characterizing the epigraphs of $f_j$s. Our result unifies and generalizes
  an existing result in two important directions. First\, it considers mult
 iple general convex cone constraints instead of a single second-order cone
  type constraint. Second\, it takes arbitrary nonnegative functions instea
 d of  a specific submodular function obtained from the square root of an a
 ffine function. We close by demonstrating the applicability of our results
  in the context of a number of broad problem classes. This is joint work w
 ith Simge Kucukyavuz and Dabeen Lee.\n
