Mixed-Integer Programming — Exact optimization over continuous and integer decisions

Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) is a mathematical optimization framework in which some decision variables must take integer values while others may be continuous. It generalizes linear programming and is widely used in operations research, logistics, scheduling, resource allocation, and engineering design, where indivisibility constraints — such as yes/no decisions or whole-unit quantities — arise naturally.
