Solving Nonlinear Integer Programming or Mixed-Integer Programming Problems
In practical applications, there is often a need to solve nonlinear integer programming or mixed-integer programming problems. Branch and bound is a commonly used algorithm in this domain, but MATLAB's built-in toolbox lacks dedicated functions for this purpose. The BNB20 toolbox developed by Koert Kuipers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands provides an implementation for solving general nonlinear integer programming problems using branch and bound methodology with customizable constraint handling and objective function evaluation.
