Adaptive Branch and Bound for Efficient Solution of Mixed-Integer Programs Formulated with Big-M

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === This thesis describes three specialized branch-and-bound (B and B) algorithms for solving a mixed-integer program (MIP) that incorporates standard big-M constructs. The goal is to identify valid values for M that also lead to short solution...
