IP-MINOS(TM) is a collection of simple
textbook branch-and-bound procedures
which, together with MINOS, allow
the MINOS user to solve binary integer
programs, or mixed integer linear
programs, or any linear program where
some or all of the variables are integer
multiples of given increments. The
general mixed integer programming
package, allows the user to solve
integer programs where some or all
of the variables are integer multiples
of user-specified increments; these
increments may or may not be integer-valued
themselves. This approach may allow
for more stability in the problems
the user wishes to solve, since it
will not be necessary to scale the
problem constraints to deal with strictly
integer-valued variables. The routines
are designed to execute a simple textbook
version of the branch-and-bound technique
for integer programming; thus they
should work fine for problems with
a few integer variables. However,
because source code is provided, the
sophisticated user may be able to
modify these routines to create powerful
and efficient versions of the branch-and-bound
algorithm.
Any scientific machine
with a Fortran 77 compiler
(mainframes, workstations
or, PCs) and a copy
of MINOS 5.4 or later.
