Integer programming and combinatorial optimization form the backbone of many decision-making and resource allocation problems across diverse fields, from logistics and telecommunications to ...

Operations Research, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1985), pp. 803-819 (17 pages) We present methods that are useful in solving some large scale hierarchical planning models involving 0-1 variables.

In this paper, we present a branch-and-price method to solve special structured multistage stochastic integer programming problems. We validate our method on two different versions of a multistage ...
