Title
Branch-and-bound as a higher-order function
Abstract
The branch-and-bound paradigm is presented as a higher-order function and illustrated by instantiations, providing two well-known branch-and-bound algorithms for the Steiner tree problem in graphs and one for the travelling salesman problem. We discuss the advantages of such a specification and various issues arising from sequential and parallel implementations of branch-and-bound kernels.
