The branch and bound method uses a tree diagram of ________ to organize the solution partitioning.
A) branches
B) nodes
C) nodes and branches
D) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The branch and bound method involves partitioning the solution space into smaller sub-spaces or nodes. The method then constructs a tree diagram with each node representing a sub-space and the edges between the nodes representing the partitioning process. Therefore, the branch and bound method uses a tree diagram of nodes and branches to organize the solution partitioning.
