Els - An economic lot-sizing problem solved by cut-and-branch and branch-and-cut heuristics

Description
The version 'xbels' of this example shows how to implement cut-and-branch (= cut generation at the root node of the MIP search) and 'xbelsc' implements a branch-and-cut (= cut generation at the MIP search tree nodes) algorithm using the cut manager.

  Economic lot sizing, ELS, problem, solved by adding
  (l,S)-inequalities) in a branch-and-cut heuristic
  (using the cut manager).

  ELS considers production planning over a horizon
  of T periods. In period t, t=1,...,T, there is a
  given demand DEMAND[t] that must be satisfied by
  production prod[t] in period t and by inventory
  carried over from previous periods. There is a
  set-up up cost SETUPCOST[t] associated with
  production in period t. The unit production cost
  in period t is PRODCOST[t]. There is no inventory
  or stock-holding cost.
