Abstract: This note presents a numerical investigation of various techniques reported in the branch-and-bound literature applied to the specific problem of optimal redundancy allocation. It compares two common backtracking strategies, deep and broad search, along with a zero-one versus direct problem formulation. Also reported are some highly successful modifications exploiting the specific problem structure.
