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

The experiments include ones used to evaluate speed-up devices and to explore a connection with integer programming. Other experiments give waste as a function of stock length, examine the effect of ...

We present a method for approximating the solution of mixed integer nonconcave programming problems in bounded variables. We present computational results for 39 test problems which suggest that the ...
