An integer programming problem is a type of linear programming problem where one or more decision variables are required to take on integer values in the final solution. This distinguishes it from a standard linear programming problem where all decision variables can take on any real value. The objective function and constraints, however, are still linear. Goal programming problems involve multiple objectives, nonlinear programming problems have nonlinear objective functions or constraints, and multiple objective LP problems have linear objectives but multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously.
