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

In this paper we report on the solution to optimality of 10 large-scale zero-one linear programming problems. All problem data come from real-world industrial applications and are characterized by ...

The linear program is formulated using judiciously chosen variables and constraints and we show a one-to-one correspondence between algorithms for the secretary problem and feasible solutions to the ...
