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.
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 ...

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
Branch and bound (BB or B&B) is an algorithm design paradigm for discrete and combinatorial optimization problems. A branch-and-bound algorithm consists of a systematic enumeration of candidate solutions by means of state space search : the set of candidate solutions is thought of as forming a rooted tree with the full set at the root.
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 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.
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 ...
