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 ...

Constraint Programming (CP) has been successful in a number of combinatorial search and discrete optimisation problems. Yet other more traditional approaches, such as Integer Programming (IP), can ...
