Integer programming is a special kind of an optimising problem where the solution must be an integer.
It depends on the problem: you may have to use integer programming rather than linear programming.
I can try...
Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.
An arbitrary integer is basically the same as any integer. If a math problem says: "Let n be an arbitrary integer", it means that n can be any integer. A random integer in other words.
sample of problem solving
Some sources say that the answer is no because a negative integer is less than zero and a positive integer is greater that zero. This answer is partially incorrect because if a negative integer is in an absolute value problem, it can potentially be greater that a positive integer. Example: |-11| > 7 because |-11|=11 because it is in an absolute value problem. Simplified, the problem is 11 > 7 So yes, in some cases a negative integer is greater that a positive integer.
I showed the teacher how I arrived at a positive integer as the answer to the math problem.
2,4,6, and 8 are examples as are -2,-4,-6
