Accelerating the B&B algorithm for integer programming based on flatness information: an approach applied to the multidimensional knapsack problem

This paper presents a new branching rule based on the flatness of a polyhedron associated to the set of constraints in an integer linear programming problem. The rule called Flatness II is a heuristic technique used with the branch-and-bound method. The rule is concerned with the minimum integer wid...
