This code can be used to compute distributions over the optimal solutions of an integer programming formulation when each of the agents involved can be represented by a single variable (which can be ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel algorithm for path planning of point robots in 2D known environment, using binary integer programming. In this approach the problem of path planning is formulated ...

Formulations of mathematical programs often require that some of the decision variables take only integer values. Consider the formulation You can follow the same steps to identify binary variables.

Many important practical computations, such as scheduling, combinatorial, and optimization problems, use techniques known as integer programming to find the best combination of many variables. In ...
