Abstract

This chapter contains short expository notes on applying continuous approaches for solving discrete optimization problems. We discuss some general aspects of the connection between integer programming and continuous optimization problems, along with several specific examples. The considered problems include maximum clique, satisfiability, the Steiner tree problem, minimax and semidefinite programming.
