Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.
The algorithms to solve an integer programming problem are either through heuristics (such as with ant colony optimization problems), branch and bound methods, or total unimodularity, which is often used in relaxing the integer bounds of the problem (however, this is usually not optimal or even feasible).
you learn linear programming before you learn the transportation problem.
No, it will not. In fact, there is a special branch of linear programming which is called integer programming and which caters for situations where the solution must consist of integers.
The problem must have given you a list of several whole numbers. The integer range is the difference in size (distance) between the biggest one and the smallest one.
Dynamic programming (DP) has been used to solve a wide range of optimizationproblemsWhen solving a problem using linear programming, specific inequalities involving the inputs are found and then an attempt is made to maximize (or minimize) some linear function of the inputs.
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.
Problem -> Programming Programming can be a solution to a problem. If you have a problem and it can be solved by a computer program, so you can create such a program - so you can solve this problem by programming.

distinguish between a carry and an overflow as aresult of an arithmetic operation .
No. However, a special subset of such problems: integer programming, can have two optimal solutions.
The reduction of vertex cover to integer programming can be achieved by representing the vertex cover problem as a set of constraints in an integer programming formulation. This involves defining variables to represent the presence or absence of vertices in the cover, and setting up constraints to ensure that every edge in the graph is covered by at least one vertex. By formulating the vertex cover problem in this way, it can be solved using integer programming techniques.

In both cases the constraints are used to produce an n-dimensional simplex which represents the "feasible region". In the case of linear programming this is the feasible region. But that is not the case for integer programming since only those points within the region for which the variables are integer are feasible.The objective function is then used to find the maximum or minimum - as required. In the case of a linear programming problem, the solution must lie on one of the vertices (or along one line in 2-d, plane in 3-d etc) of the simplex and so is easy to find. In the case of integer programming, the optimal solution so found may contain one or more variables that are not integer and so it is necessary to examine all the points in the immediate neighbourhood and evaluate the objective function at each of these points. This last requirement makes integer programming solutions more difficult to find.
