A mathematical technique used to obtain an optimum solution in resource allocation problems, such as production planning. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires ...

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

The computational results on problems with up to 2750 variables strongly confirm our hypothesis that a combination of problem preprocessing, cutting planes, and clever branch-and-bound techniques ...

The cutting-stock problem is the problem of filling an order at minimum cost for specified numbers of lengths of material to be cut from given stock lengths of given cost. When expressed as an integer ...
