Many problems in engineering, planning, and manufacturing can be modeled as that of minimizing or maximizing a cost function over a finite set of discrete variables. This class of combinatorial optimization problems has received much attention over the last two decades, and major achievements have been made in its analysis [Papadimitriou and Steiglitz 19821.
