Integer Programming (IP) is a very powerful technique for tackling problems which have a mixture of continuous and discrete activities, notably those involving scheduling. Unlike Linear Programming (LP), IP cannot simply be treated as a black box.
ï· when all of the variables are binary (known as âBinary Integer Programmingâ or BIP), ï· when some or all of the variables are integer-valued and the objective function and all of. the constraints are linear (known as âMixed Integer Programmingâ, MIP, or âMixed. Integer Linear Programmingâ, MILP). Binary Integer Programming. In binary problems, each variable can only take on the value of 0 or 1. This may represent the. selection or rejection of an option, the turning on or off of switches, a yes/no answer, or many. other situations.
