Petitioner: Employer. The Case. On May 01, 1989, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision stating that the case of Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins (docket no. 87-1167) should be reversed and remanded and upholding the law in question [Civil Rights Act Of 1964 (Title VII)] as constitutional. The judgment rested on the Court's authority over statutory construction.
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.
In number theory, integer factorization is the decomposition of a composite number into a product of smaller integers. If these integers are further restricted to prime numbers, the process is called prime factorization. When the numbers are very large, no efficient, non-quantum integer factorization algorithm is known.
