Optimal Allocation of Missiles Against Area and Point Defenses,

Abstract

The problem considered is that of allocating a given number of missiles against area and point defenses and the cities protected by these defenses so as to maximize the total damage done to the cities. An integer nonlinear programming formulation of the problem is developed and a branch-and-bound algorithm for its solution is offered. Computational considerations are discussed and numerical results are given. (Author)
