Title: Mathematical Programming Modulo Theories



Abstract:



We present the Mathematical Programming Modulo Theories (MPMT) constraint solving framework. MPMT enhances Mathematical Programming by integrating techniques from the field of Automated Reasoning, e.g., solvers for first-order theories. We discuss the Branch and Cut Modulo T (BC(T)) architecture for MPMT solvers. BC(T) is formalized as a family of transition systems. We outline classes of first-order theories that BC(T) accommodates. We finally discuss the algorithmic aspects of our BC(T) implementation, and explore potential applications.
