Specific Problems
- Vehicle routing problem
- Traveling salesman problem
- Minimum spanning tree problem
- Linear programming (if the solution space is the choice of which variables to make basic)
- Integer programming
- Eight queens puzzle - A constraint satisfaction problem. When applying standard combinatorial optimization algorithms to this problem, one would usually treat the goal function as the number of unsatisfied constraints (e.g. number of attacks) rather than whether the whole problem is satisfied or not.
- Knapsack problem
- Cutting stock problem
- Assignment problem
- Weapon target assignment problem
