In integer linear programming, sensitivity analysis examines how changes in the coefficients of the objective function or constraints affect the optimal solution, while still adhering to the requirement that decision variables remain whole numbers (integers). This helps decision-makers understand how robust their solutions are to changes in input values and whether small adjustments in resource availability or costs could lead to different integer solutions. Essentially, it provides insights into how sensitive the optimal decisions are to variations in the problem parameters.
In integer linear programming, sensitivity analysis evaluates how changes in the coefficients of the objective function or constraints impact the optimal solution while keeping decision variables as integers. This analysis helps decision-makers assess the robustness of their solutions and understand whether small adjustments in resources or costs could lead to different integer solutions, providing insights into the sensitivity of optimal decisions to variations in problem parameters.
Sensitivity analysis in ILP examines how changes in parameters (objective coefficients, constraint coefficients) affect the optimal solution. It helps identify which variables are critical to the solution and assess the stability of the optimal decisions.
