摘要
We propose a new algorithm for solving integer programming (IP) problems that is based on ideas from algebraic geometry. The method provides a natural generalization of the Farkas lemma for IP, leads to a way of performing sensitivity analysis, offers a systematic enumeration of all feasible solutions, and gives structural information of the feasible set of a given IP. We provide several examples that offer insights on the algorithm and its properties.
