Résumé	The Wagner-Whitin Algorithm, introduced by Harvey M. Wagner and Thomson M. Whitin in 1958, is a dynamic programming solution to the capacitated lot-sizing problem. It determines optimal production quantities over multiple periods to minimize the total cost of production setup and inventory holding while meeting deterministic demand.	Benders Decomposition, introduced by Jacques F. Benders in 1962, is a powerful algorithmic framework for solving large-scale mixed-integer programming (MIP) problems. It decomposes the problem into a master problem (controlling complicating variables) and subproblems (handling remaining variables), using cutting planes generated from subproblem dual information to iteratively tighten the master problem.	Column Generation, developed by George B. Dantzig and Philip Wolfe in 1960, is a powerful optimization technique for solving large-scale linear programming problems with special structure. Also known as Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition, it decomposes the problem into a master problem (restricted to a subset of variables/columns) and a pricing subproblem (identifying new variables), iteratively improving the solution by introducing only relevant columns.
