Abstract: A mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem contains not only constraints but also integer restrictions. Integer restrictions divide the feasible region defined by constraints into multiple ...

Combinatorial optimization and integer programming form the backbone of decision-making models in which discrete choices must be made under constraints. At its core, integer programming specialises in ...

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird. Credit...Illustration by Pablo Delcan and Danielle Del Plato ...
