A SURVEY OF METHODS FOR PURE NONLINEAR INTEGER PROGRAMMING.

The subject of this paper is a classification and discussion of algorithms for solution of nonlinear pure integer programming problems. The survey is organized by characterizing the mathematical form of the nonlinear optimization problems addressed by the various algorithms. If any method can be used without changes to solve mixed integer nonlinear programming problems that fact is mentioned in the description of the algorithm. However algorithms which must be applied only to mixed integer problems are not surveyed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
