ABSTRACT

In this paper, we review recent interior point approaches for solving combinatorial optimization problems. We discuss in detail techniques for linear and network programming, branch and bound and branch and cut methods, nonconvex potential function minimization, lower bounding techniques, and semidefinite programming relaxations.
