The following is the skeleton of a generic branch and bound algorithm for minimizing an arbitrary objective function f. [3] To obtain an actual algorithm from this, one requires a bounding function bound, that computes lower bounds of f on nodes of the search tree, as well as a problem-specific branching rule.
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
Joint compatibility branch and bound (JCBB) is an algorithm in computer vision and robotics commonly used for data association in simultaneous localization and mapping.JCBB measures the joint compatibility of a set of pairings that successfully rejects spurious matchings and is hence known to be robust in complex environments.
A branch, cut and price algorithm is similar to a branch and bound algorithm but additionally includes cutting-plane methods and pricing algorithms. The user of the library can customize the algorithm in any number of ways by supplying application-specific subroutines for reading in custom data files, generating application-specific cutting ...
The weapon target assignment problem (WTA) is a class of combinatorial optimization problems present in the fields of optimization and operations research.It consists of finding an optimal assignment of a set of weapons of various types to a set of targets in order to maximize the total expected damage done to the opponent.
Applying these two concepts results in an efficient data structure and algorithms for the representation of sets and relations. [10] [11] By extending the sharing to several BDDs, i.e. one sub-graph is used by several BDDs, the data structure Shared Reduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram is defined. [2]
This method [6] runs a branch-and-bound algorithm on problems, where is the number of variables. Each such problem is the subproblem obtained by dropping a sequence of variables x 1 , … , x i {\displaystyle x_{1},\ldots ,x_{i}} from the original problem, along with the constraints containing them.
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 ...
