Figure 1.4 Feasible integer solutions for (1.5).

      Although the graphical method was fairly simple for this example, it is quite different than when solving linear programs. Note that:

      These difficulties suggest that integer programs are harder to solve than linear programs, which we will see is true. Even solving a two‐variable integer program graphically can be tedious. However, we do not necessarily need to generate all integer feasible solutions. For example, if we start by generating the feasible point , then we draw the contour line through it and check for integer points in the linear program's feasible region and above the contour. Checking points to the right of (because this contour does not touch the feasible region for ), is infeasible but qualifies, so it is optimal. The idea of using a feasible integer solution to eliminate other integer points from consideration will be used in Chapter 13.

      The general form of an integer program is the same as a linear program with the added constraint that the variables are integers. If only some of the variables are restricted to be integer, it is called a mixed integer program. When variables represent logical choices, they are usually defined so that if true (decide to take the action) and if false (decide not to take the action). A variable whose possible values are is called a binary variable. An integer program with all binary variables is called a binary program.

      1.4.3 Nonlinear Programs

An optimization problem where the objective function and constraints may be nonlinear is called a nonlinear program. The variables are assumed to be continuous, as in a linear program. Thus, nonlinear programs are more general than linear programs, but do not include integer programs. While linear programs can be described in matrix notation, nonlinear programs are described in terms of functions.

      General Form of a Nonlinear Program

      We have not stated the nonnegativity constraints separately. However, a nonnegativity constraint can be included in the functional constraints if needed.

      The ability to solve a nonlinear program depends on the type of objective function and constraints . A class of more easily solved nonlinear programs called convex programs is discussed in Chapters 14 and 15. Also, Chapter 3 shows how certain piece‐wise linear convex programs can be converted into linear programs, which is useful because convex programs are somewhat harder to solve than linear programs.
