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.

Integer arithmetic seems like an elementary school subject. But in programming, you should definitely not underestimate it. In fact, all safer C language subsets (e.g., MISRA-C:2012 [1]) have a whole ...

Methods for NP-hard discrete optimization problems, including general methods like branch-and-bound and cutting planes, as well as special purpose branch-and-cut methods. Students will be able to ...

Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...
