Abstract

Abstract We have reached the final chapter to conclude this great and hazardous adventure of writing a book on the column generation algorithm, Dantzig-Wolfe reformulations, and resolution of integer linear programs, indeed, the branch-and-price approach. We begin with a brief history of the research activities carried out over five decades by the Montréal group GENCOL, then look to the future.
