DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile the main aim of this thesis is to present a new computational methodfor solving discrete-valued optimal control problems, the initial focus is on solvingpurely discrete optimization problems. We identify several discrete filled functionstechniques in the literature and perform a critical review including comprehensive numerical tests. Once the best filled function method is identified, we propose and test several variations of the method with numerical examples.
