Abstract

Many combinatorial optimisation problems can be modelled as integer linear programs. We consider a class of generalised integer programs where the constraints are allowed to be taken from a broader set of relations (instead of just being linear inequalities). The set of allowed relations is defined using a many-valued logic and the resulting class of relations have provably strong modelling properties. We give sufficient conditions for when such problems are polynomial-time solvable and we prove that they are APX-hard otherwise.
