Set Covering Applied to a Class of Binary Decision Problems.

Abstract

The paper is concerned with a solution technique for 0-1 integer programs with positive costs and nonnegative coefficient matrices. An algorithm is developed for this class of problems which involves solving a sequence of weighted set covering problems. The algorithm is then adapted to solve the fixed charge network flow problem.
