Combinatorial optimization and integer programming form the backbone of decision-making models in which discrete choices must be made under constraints. At its core, integer programming specialises in ...

Integer linear programming can help find the answer to a variety of real-world problems. Now researchers have found a much faster way to do it. The traveling salesperson problem is one of the oldest ...

Global optimization of nonlinear mixed-integer programming (MINLP) addresses decision problems in which some variables are constrained to take integer values, while the objective function or ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...
