Mixed-integer benchmark problems for single- And bi-objective optimization

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We introduce two suites of mixed-integer benchmark problems to be used for analyzing and comparing black-box optimization algorithms. They contain problems of diverse difficulties that are scalable in the number of decision variables. The bbob-mixint suite is designed by partially discretizing the established BBOB (Black-Box Optimization Benchmarking) problems. The bi-objective problems from the bbob-biobj-mixint suite are, on the other hand, constructed by using the bbob-mixint functions as their separate objectives. We explain the rationale behind our design decisions and show how to use the suites within the COCO (Comparing Continuous Optimizers) platform. Analyzing two chosen functions in more detail, we also provide some unexpected findings about their properties.
