摘要: Two minimum cardinality set covering problems of similar structure are presented as difficult test for evaluating the computational efficiency integer programming and algorithms. The smaller problem has 117 constraints 27 variables, larger one, constructed by H.J. Ryser, 330 45 variables. constraint matrices two incidence Steiner triple systems. An optimal solution to that we were able solve (the one) gives some new information on 1-widths members this class (0,1)-matrices.
