A NEW METHOD FOR SOLVING SURROGATE DUALITY IN INTEGER PROGRAMS
|
Abstract:
Methods for solving Lagrangean dual in integer programs have been highly developed toprovide good bounds in branch and bound procedures. While surrogate dual has been theore-tically shown to provide stronger bounds, the complexity of solving surrogate dual has dis-couraged their employment in integer programs. This paper presents a new method for solvingsurrogate duality in integer programs. The theoretical analysis and computational examplesshow that the method proposed is efficient.
