Duration: 3 h

Integer programs form a class of optimization models, in which some or all of the decision variables may only take integer values. Many practical problems in a variety of application domains (e.g., economics, transportation, logistics, bioinformatics, and health care) may be modeled and solved integer programs. The lecture will discuss basic approaches used for formulating and solving linear as well as some classes of nonlinear integer programs. We will also briefly overview several well-known applications of integer and combinatorial optimization.

Prerequisites: Undergraduate-level Linear Algebra course.
