A constrained optimization model for partitioning students into cooperative learning groups

<p> The problem of the constrained partitioning of a set using quantitative relationships amongst the elements is considered. An approach based on constrained integer programming is proposed that permits a group objective function to be optimized subject to group quality constraints. A motivat...
