Improving banch-and-price algorithms and applying them to Stochastic programs

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The first phase of this research demonstrates improvements in the performance of branch-and-price algorithms (B and P) for solving integer programs by (i) stabilizing dual variables during column generation, (ii) performing strong branching,...
