Abstract
In 1960, Ailsa Land and Alison Doig published the first linear programming-based branchand-bound algorithm for the solution of mixed integer linear programs. This algorithm has had a major impact on the field of mathematical programming and remains to this day the only available solution methodology for generic mixed integer linear programs. This article recounts the genesis of this algorithm and describes some of the developments that have taken place since its publication.
