METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING PROFILE OF SOLUTIONS TRADING OFF NUMBER OF ACTIVITIES UTILIZED AND OBJECTIVE VALUE FOR BILINEAR INTEGER OPTIMIZATION MODELS

摘要

A computer system for generating at least one of a solution and a profile of solutions for a problem includes an augmenting unit that repeatedly solves a model to generate a profile of solutions. The profile trades off a reduction of an objective of the problem against a number of distinct activities utilized in a solution.
