Lenstra's Algorithm
An integer programming problem is a mathematical optimization or feasibility program in which some or all of the variables are restricted to be integers. In many settings the term refers to integer linear programming (ILP), in which the objective function and the constraints (other than the integer constraints) are linear. Integer programming is NP-complete. In particular, the special case of 0–1 integer linear programming, in which unknowns are binary, and only the restrictions must be satisfied, is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. If some decision variables are not discrete, the problem is known as a mixed-integer programming problem. Canonical and standard form for ILPs In integer linear programming, the ''canonical form'' is distinct from the ''standard form''. An integer linear program in canonical form is expressed thus (note that it is the \mathbf vector which is to be decided): : \begin & \underset && \mathbf^\mathrm \mathbf\\ & \text && A \mathbf \le \mathbf ...
