Integer Programming 9 The linear-programming models that have been discussed thus far all have been continuous‚ in the sense that decision variables are allowed to be fractional. Often this is a realistic assumption. For instance‚ we might 3 easily produce 102 4 gallons of a divisible good such as wine. It also might be reasonable to accept a solution 1 giving an hourly production of automobiles at 58 2 if the model were based upon average hourly production‚ and the production had the interpretation
