Bound Improving Sequences: A Tool for Discrete Programming

The purpose of this note is to report a new tool for discrete programming: Bound improving sequences. It consists on the construction of a sequence of bounds that, under appropriate conditions, converges in a finite number of steps to the optimal value of the objective function of the Problem studie...
