In a covering integer program (CIP), we seek an n-vector x of nonnegative integers, which minimizes c T โข x, subject to Ax ยฟ b, where all entries of A; b; c are nonnegative. In their most general form, CIPs include also multiplicity constraints of the type x 6 d, i.e., arbitrarily large integers are
Structural approximation theory seeks to provide a framework for expressing optimization problems and isolating structural or syntactic conditions that explain the apparent difference in the approximation properties of different NP-optimization problems. In this paper, we initiate a study of structu
