Explicit Iteration Complexity for Data-Driven Inverse Optimization of Integer Linear Programs

publication · 2026-07-27

A recent study published on arXiv (2607.22263) explores the explicit iteration complexity involved in exact data-driven inverse optimization for integer linear programs (ILPs). The data-driven inverse optimization problem (DDIOP) aims to determine the parameters of the objective function that account for the observed optimal solutions. Although gradient-based techniques can precisely resolve ILP inverse optimization in a finite number of oracle iterations, the previous iteration limit relied on an unspecified geometric constant γ(ℓ_sub). This research presents the first clear limit on the iteration count based on the size of the problem for ILPs, thus offering practical guarantees on complexity.
