Abstract

Abstract : An algorithm is given for the numerical solution of the 'mixed integer' linear programming problem, the problem of maximizing a linear form in finitely many variables constrained both by linear inequalities and the requirement that a proper subset of the variables assume only integral values. The algorithm is an extension of the cutting plane technique for the solution of the 'pure integer' problem.
