This is a final report on a contract whose objective was to provide research support to the Concepts Analysis Agency (CAA) in the solution of large- scale mixed-integer programming models. We assisted in the formulation of a base closing model and provided a solution procedure based on a branch-and-cut algorithm. As a result of this work, we are able to solve relatively small instances of the base closing problem. Further work is needed to provide a customized algorithm that is capable of solving the larger instances in a reasonable amount of time. Integer programming.
