The research will focus on the theory and techniques needed to develop          a robust and efficient algorithm for the general mixed integer                  programming problem.  Topics that will be studied include efficient             formulation, preprocessing, decomposition, logical testing, linear              programming, constraint generation, branching and parallel processing.          The project will also involve the development of a modular                      experimental code to test and evaluate the ideas and methodology that           result from the basic research.                                                                                                                                 There is tremendous demand for an efficient and robust mixed integer            programming algorithm because a great variety of practical problems             can be formulated in this way.  But many of the larger and more                 difficult ones cannot be solved to (near) optimality in a reasonable            amount of time by the existing methodology.  Some of these large mixed          integer models arise from optimization problems in the areas of                 logistics and manufacturing.  Thus, the development of efficient                methods would have a significant impact on improving the planning and           operation of production and distribution processes.
