Branch-and-bound algorithm for set covering problems
Wednesday 14 May 2003 at 15.30, JCMB 6324

Abstract

In this talk, we present a branch-and-bound method, developed with sequential and parallel programs, for solving Set Covering problems. These problems are very difficult to solve through exact algorithms in the case of a large number of constraints and variables.

We describe the general approach and discuss differences between sequential and parallel implementations. We illustrate our findings with computational results.
