How do you solve a combinatorial optimization problem? This integrated lecture offers a guide to the use and the implementation of modern computer oriented solution methods of integer programming at the example of the travelling salesman problem and the Steiner tree problem. Choosing a suitable model, preprocessing, deriving lower and upper bounds by relaxations, heuristics, and approximation methods as well as the separation and application and of cutting planes in branch-and-cut methods are covered. The application of these techniques is trained in the exercise part using advanced software tools such as Zimpl and SCIP.

Wie löst man ein kombinatorisches Optimierungsproblem? In dieser integrierten Veranstaltung werden moderne computerorientierte Lösungsmethoden der ganzzahligen Optimierung am Beispiel des Traveling-Salesman-Problems und des Steinerbaumproblems vorgestellt, implementiert und erprobt. Die Auswahl einer geeigneten Modellierung, Preprocessing, die Konstruktion von unteren und oberen Schranken durch Relaxierungen, Heuristiken und Approximationsmethoden sowie die Verwendung von Schnittebenen in Branch-and-Cut-Verfahren und deren Separierung werden behandelt. Die Techniken werden im Übungsteil mit Hilfe von geeigneten Softwaretools wie Zimpl und SCIP angewendet.
