Chapter 6
Integer Linear Programming
1. The optimal solutions to an LP problem occur at extreme points of the feasible region. There are a finite
number of such extreme points for any given problem and they can be located and searched very
efficiently. The optimal solution to an ILP does not necessarily occur at an extreme point of the relaxed
feasible region, making it more difficult to locate these points.

2. M12 = MIN( 200/1, 1520/9, 2650/12) = 168.9

M22 = MIN( 200/1, 1520/6, 2650/16) = 165.7

3. Errata: The objective in this problem should be MIN rather than MAX.
See file: Prb6_3.xlsm
a. X1=6.25, X2=6.5
b. X1=8, X2=8
c. The optimal integer solution to an ILP cannot, in general, be obtained by rounding the continuous
solution.

4. a. X1 + X2 + X4 + X6 = 2
b. X2 - X3 = 0
c. 2X5 - X3 - X4  0
d. X2 + X 4 - X5  1

5. a. See file: Prb6_5.xlsm

b. Select projects 2, 3 & 5. Total NPV = $573,000.

6. a. It would merely serve to reduce his net profit by $1,000. Since he must incur this cost regardless of
what kind of hot tub he makes there is not reason to include this cost in the formulation of the model.

selecting the candidate with the best relaxed objective function value, or the lowest sum of integer
infeasibilities. All of these strategies are heuristic.

4. Old Dominion's marginal cost of producing the last 300 MW of the 4300 MW demanded on day 1 is
$3,050. (This result is obtained by reducing the demand on day 1to 4000 MW, re-optimizing the problem,
and subtracting the objective value ($139,700) from the value obtained in question 2.) If they can buy 300
MW for less than $3050, they should do so and not operate the James River plant on day 1.
5. This plan has the Galax and New River plants running at or near capacity each day. If demand is a little
higher than projected, it would be wise to keep the James River plant online continuously as well to avoid
several start ups.
