Development of Web-Based Experiment for Integer Programming Using Java Applet

Abstract

Integer (Mixed integer) programming is one of important mathematical programs for solving many practical problems, such as economic management, optimization control and supply chain. The integer linear programming problem and its solution algorithm are studied in this paper, and Web-based mathematical experiments of Branch-and-bound algorithm developed using Java applets. The system of the experiment can not only demonstrate the basic principle and iterating procedure of the algorithm by online example, but also solve any new integer programming inputted by user. The developed system provides users an efficient assisted learning platform with an interactive mode.
