Abstract

We consider a new approach for the maximum-entropy sampling problem (MESP) that is based on bounds obtained by maximizing a function of the form ldet M(x) over linear constraints, where M(x) is linear in the n-vector x. These bounds can be computed very efficiently and are superior to all previously known bounds for MESP on most benchmark test problems. A branch-and-bound algorithm using the new bounds solves challenging instances of MESP to optimality for the first time.
