By applying branch and bound algorithm provide an optimal route solution by prioritizing on delivering heavier, larger, and more fragile packages but still one of the shortest routes.

This paper introduces an efficient branch and bound algorithm for a special class of mixed integer programming problems called the warehouse location problem. A set of branching decision rules is ...

This paper presents an algorithm for determining an optimum solution to a two-stage production sequencing problem with these characteristics: There are n jobs to be sequenced in a two-stage production ...

This paper presents an exact algorithm for sparse filter design under a quadratic constraint on filter performance. The algorithm is based on branch-and-bound, a combinatorial optimization procedure ...

Example 5.18: Branch and Bound Trees This example illustrates a nonstandard use of PROC NETDRAW. The TREE option in PROC NETDRAW is used to draw a branch and bound tree such as one that you obtain in ...
