Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to finance ...

Integer programming is a crucial branch of mathematical optimisation that focuses on problems where some or all decision variables are constrained to be integers. This field underpins many practical ...

In this paper we discuss some branch and bound methods implemented in the UMPIRE mathematical programming system for solving practical integer programming problems and give details of computational ...

Modeling of the internal control system provides an element of structure and objectivity to the design and evaluation of the system. A model for the design of an ...
