KurzbeschreibungInteger programming is the task of minimizing a linear function over all the integer points in a polyhedron. This lecture introduces the key concepts of an algorithmic theory for solving such problems.
LernzielThe purpose of the lecture is to provide a geometric treatment of the theory of integer optimization.
InhaltKey topics are:

- Lattice theory and the polynomial time solvability of integer optimization problems in fixed dimension.

- Structural properties of integer sets that reveal other parameters affecting the complexity of integer problems

- Duality theory for integer optimization problems from the vantage point of lattice free sets.
