- Additional information
- This paper achieved 100% accuracy in identifying problem structure of 90% of test cases from a set of widely-used functions in numerical optimization. Accurate structural information resulted in solving 30% of test cases to optimality and improving the state-of-the-art results on 65% of the cases. The paper identified an important source of error in structural analysis of continuous functions, which helped its successor to achieve better generalizability on a wider range of functions.
