Abstract:SUMMARYThe branch and bound method is a solution method which is used in deriving the optimal solution for combinatorial optimization problems. The parallel implementation of the branch and bound method is considered, aiming at expansion of the range of applicable problems. With recent advances in PCs and network technology, there have been studies of the parallel branch and bound method in a metacomputing environment, which differs from conventional parallel computers. It is difficult in the branch and bound … Show more
