ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
Abstract We report on experiments with turning the branch-price-andcut framework SCIP into a generic branch-price-and-cut solver. That is, given a mixed integer program (MIP), our ...
The imposition of general disjunctions of the form “πx ≤ π0 ∨ πx ≥ π0 + 1”, where π, π0 are integer valued, is a fundamental operation in both the branch-and-bound...
This paper uses an entertaining student "sports" game to illustrate that GAs can be adapted to problems with uncertain properties and complexity. These problems can be s...
In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
