In this lecture we describe the branch-and-cut algorithm, which is currently the state-of-the-art approach for solving mixed-integer optimization problems. We first describe the basic branch-and-bound framework, where efficiently solvable linear programming relaxations are used to eliminate parts of the search space. We then discuss the impact o...
