Discrete Geometry
Mixed-integer programming is a mathematical optimization technique where some variables are constrained to take on integer values while others can take on continuous values. This approach is particularly useful for solving problems that involve decision-making scenarios where certain choices must be whole numbers, such as facility location and resource allocation. The combination of integer and continuous variables allows for modeling complex relationships in optimization problems effectively.
