We present a general graph-based modeling abstraction for optimization that we call an OptiGraph. Under this abstraction, any optimization problem is treated as a hierarchical hypergraph in which nodes represent optimization subproblems and edges represent connectivity between such subproblems. The abstraction enables the modular construction of highly complex models in an intuitive manner, facilitates the use of graph analysis tools (to perform partitioning, aggregation, and visualization…

TLDR
This work presents a new coarsening heuristic (called heavy-edge heuristic) for which the size of the partition of the coarse graph is within a small factor of theSize of the final partition obtained after multilevel refinement, and presents a much faster variation of the Kernighan--Lin (KL) algorithm for refining during uncoarsening.
