Abstract

To aggregate constraints is a technique for solving the integer programming problem. In this note we modify a result of Zionts (1974); without this modification, there is a counterexample for Zionts' result. Further, we give an elegant theorem which considers the aggregation of nonlinear constraints.

Zusammenfassung

Die Zusammenfassung von Restriktionen ist eine Technik zur Lösung ganzzahliger Optimierungsaufgaben. Es wird ein Resultat von Zionts modifiziert. Ohne diese Modifikation gibt es nämlich ein Gegenbeispiel zur Behauptung. Ferner wird ein Satz von Bradley über die Zusammenfassung nichtlinearer Funktionen etwas verallgemeinert.
