Integer programming is a special case of linear programming, where the decision variables are restricted to be integers. This restriction makes the problem more difficult to solve, because it ...

Now that we have learned how to formulate and solve Linear Programs, we can consider an additional restriction on the solution that all variables must have an integer value. With this new constraint, ...

Solving the two-dimensional strip packing problem, using several combinatorial decision making and optimization approaches: Constraint Programming, Boolean SATisfiability, Satisfiability Modulo Theory ...

Linear and nonlinear programming are two types of optimization methods that can help you find the best solution to a problem involving decision variables, constraints, and an objective function.

Integer [Linear] Programming. Algorithms for integer programming often take a first stab at a solution with linear programming, which is outwardly similar but allows the variables to vary continuously ...

This book presents the state-of-the-art methods in Linear Integer Programming, including some new algorithms and heuristic methods developed by the authors in recent years. Topics as Characteristic ...

An integer linear bilevel programming problem is firstly transformed into a binary linear bilevel programming problem, and then converted into a single-level binary implicit programming. An orthogonal ...
