Abstract

Based on the recently developed ABS algorithm for solving linear Diophantine equations, we present a special ABS algorithm for solving such equations which is effective in computation and storage, not requiring the computation of the greatest common divisor. A class of equations always solvable in integers is identified. Using this result, we discuss the ILP problem with upper and lower bounds on the variables.
