  2. Branch and bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_and_bound

    A stack (LIFO queue) will yield a depth-first algorithm. A best-first branch and bound algorithm can be obtained by using a priority queue that sorts nodes on their lower bound. [3] Examples of best-first search algorithms with this premise are Dijkstra's algorithm and its descendant A* search. The depth-first variant is recommended when no ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrick's_method

    In Boolean algebra, Petrick's method [1] (also known as Petrick function [2] or branch-and-bound method) is a technique described by Stanley R. Petrick (1931–2006) [3] [4] in 1956 [5] [6] for determining all minimum sum-of-products solutions from a prime implicant chart. [7]

  4. Branch and price - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_and_price

    Branch and price is a branch and bound method in which at each node of the search tree, columns may be added to the linear programming relaxation (LP relaxation). At the start of the algorithm, sets of columns are excluded from the LP relaxation in order to reduce the computational and memory requirements and then columns are added back to the LP relaxation as needed.

  5. Branch and cut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_and_cut

    Branch and cut [1] is a method of combinatorial optimization for solving integer linear programs (ILPs), that is, linear programming (LP) problems where some or all the unknowns are restricted to integer values. [2] Branch and cut involves running a branch and bound algorithm and using cutting planes to tighten

    Various branch-and-bound algorithms, which can be used to process TSPs containing thousands of cities. Solution of a TSP with 7 cities using a simple Branch and bound algorithm. Note: The number of permutations is much less than Brute force search. Progressive improvement algorithms, which use techniques reminiscent of linear programming. This ...

  7. Computational phylogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_phylogenetics

    The branch and bound algorithm is a general method used to increase the efficiency of searches for near-optimal solutions of NP-hard problems first applied to phylogenetics in the early 1980s. [14] Branch and bound is particularly well suited to phylogenetic tree construction because it inherently requires dividing a problem into a tree ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_deepening_depth...

    In computer science, iterative deepening search or more specifically iterative deepening depth-first search [1] (IDS or IDDFS) is a state space/graph search strategy in which a depth-limited version of depth-first search is run repeatedly with increasing depth limits until the goal is found.
