Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

We present a genetic algorithm for the multiple-choice integer program that finds an optimal solution with probability one (though it is typically used as a heuristic). General constraints are relaxed ...

An algorithm is presented for the solution of mixed integer programming problems. The method was developed to solve primarily those programming problems which contain a large number of continuous ...
