Description:

The application-oriented approach of this book addresses the art and science of mathematical modeling for the collection of problems that fit the MIP framework and also discusses the algorithms and associated practices that enable those models to be solved most efficiently. Throughout the book, reasoning and interpretation are exercised more often than rigorous mathematical proofs of theorems, which may be located in referenced articles. The authors have been very thorough in searching out and synthesizing various modeling and solution approaches that have appeared in disparate publications over the past 40 years. This book is a well-organized and comprehensive reference that eases the…
