Integer and Constraint Programming Approaches for Round-Robin Tournament Scheduling

An integer linear programming approach for bilinear integer programming

We introduce a new Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach for solving Integer Programming (IP) problems with bilinear objectives and linear constraints. The approach relies on a series of ILP approximations of the bilinear IP. We compare this approach with standard linearization techniques on random instances and a set of real-world product bundling problems.
