点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Mixed-integer programming is a very powerful and useful tool to help deal with complex real world problems. It has been successfully applied to solve important problems in areas like mining, forestry, air transportation, telecommunications, health care, logistics and many others. In fact, any problem that involves decisions that are discrete (like opening or not opening a factory, number of trucks to buy, etc.) and where an efficient use of scarce resources is needed, is a good candidate for benefiting from Mixed-integer programming techniques.
