One of the most computationally useful ideas of the 1970s is the observation that many hard integer programming problems can be viewed as easy problems complicated by a relatively small set of side ...

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 experiments include ones used to evaluate speed-up devices and to explore a connection with integer programming. Other experiments give waste as a function of stock length, examine the effect of ...
