文摘A new heuristic algorithm is proposed for solving general integer linear programming problems. In the algorithm, the objective function hyperplane is used as a cutting plane, and then by introducing a special set of assistant sets, an efficient heuristic search for the solution to the integer linear program is carried out in the sets on the objective function hyperplane. A simple numerical example shows that the algorithm is efficient for some problems, and therefore, of practical interest.
