Formulations of mathematical programs often require that some of the decision variables take only integer values. Consider the formulation You can follow the same steps to identify binary variables.

Mathematical programming discriminant analysis models must be normalised to prevent the generation of discriminant functions in which the variable coefficients and the constant term are zero. This ...

Integer programming, a cornerstone of combinatorial optimisation, focuses on the selection of discrete decision variables to solve complex real‐world problems such as scheduling, network design and ...

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 ...

Recall the linear programming problem presented in the "Introduction to Mathematical Programming" chapter. In that problem, a firm produces two products, chocolates and gumdrops, that are processed by ...
