Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The LP relaxation of an IP problem involves relaxing the integral constraints to allow real-valued solutions. This relaxed problem can be solved efficiently using linear programming techniques. Moreover, the optimal value of the LP relaxation provides a lower bound for the optimal value of the original IP problem. Thus, the statement is true.
