The max-plus algebra $\mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty \}$ is defined in terms of a combination of the following two operations: addition, $a \oplus b := \max(a,b)$, and multiplication, $a \otimes b := a + b$. In this study, we propose a new method…
The notion of augmenting graphs generalizes Berge's idea of augmenting chains, which was used by Edmonds in his celebrated solution of the maximum matching problem. This problem is a special case of the more general maximum independent set…
Augmentation methods for mixed-integer (linear) programs are a class of primal solution approaches in which a current iterate is augmented to a better solution or proved optimal. It is well known that the performance of these methods, i.e.,…
