This paper presents a simple numerical algorithm for the solution of programming problems in which some or all of the variables can take only discrete values. The algorithm requires no special ...

The Lagrangian problem can thus be used in place of a linear programming relaxation to provide bounds in a branch and bound algorithm. This approach has led to dramatically improved algorithms for a ...

Opinion: Linear programming offers a better way of solving problems.

Assignments will include conceptual multiple-choice questions as well as problem solving assignments that will involve programming and testing algorithms. Learning Outcomes Formulate linear and ...

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large ...
