Branch and bound is an algorithmic method for solving integer programming problems, particularly those involving optimization. It systematically explores the solution space by dividing it into smaller subproblems (branching) and using bounds to eliminate subproblems that cannot yield better solutions than the current best (bounding). This approach allows for more efficient searching in complex optimization tasks while ensuring that an optimal solution is found.
