The specific equations are based on the details of the original problem. But while these details may differ, the basic makeup of ILP problems remains the same, giving researchers a single way to ...

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 ...
