Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper describes the development of a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the standard N-job, M-machine flowshop sequencing problem. Based on an earlier all-integer model developed ...

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 ...
