9.1 Introduction to Integer Programming

9.1 Introduction to Integer Programming An IP in which all variables are required to be integers is called a pure integer pro gramming problem. For example, max z = 3x\ + 2x2 s.t. x, + .v2 ^ 6 (1) .v,, x2 2= 0, xu x2 integer is a pure integer programming problem.

10.1 Integer Programming and LP relaxation

10.1 Integer Programming and LP relaxation De nition 10.1.1 An integer program is a linear program in which all variables must be integers. As in a linear program, the constraints in an integer program form a polytope. However, the feasible set is given by the set of all integer-valued points within the polytope, and not the entire polytope.

Tutorial 9: Transformations in integer programming

of integer programming is non-linear objectives. Many times in practice, the costs are non-linear. This can be due to “ fixed costs ” or quantity discounts, or increasing marginal costs or decreasing marginal costs. Our friends will present a couple of techniques for modeling non-linear objectives.

Complexity: LPvs. IP 3/61 Including integer variables increases enourmously the modeling power, at the expense of more complexity LP’s can be solved in polynomial time with interior-point methods (ellipsoid method, Karmarkar’s algorithm) Integer Programming is an NP-hard problem. So: There is no known polynomial-time algorithm There are little chances that one will ever be …
