....at most d relative to the defining system. Hence, if we later state lower and upper bounds for the depth of inequalities they immediately apply to the Chvtal rank of the corresponding polyhedron as well. Second, despite the early computational disappointments with Gomory s cutting plane method [25, 26, 27], it is of practical relevance. On the one hand, it has stimulated to a certain extent the search for problem specific cutting planes, which became the basis of an own branch of combinatorial optimization, namely polyhedral combinatorics (see, e.g. 28, 39, 41] On the other hand, Balas et al. ....

....constraints. Key Words: Integer programming, cutting plane, elementary closure. 1 Introduction Recently, the integer programming community has emphasized that many of the cuts found in the literature are essentially the same. Chv atal cuts [12] are equivalent to Gomory fractional cuts [20,21,23]. Lift and project cuts [4] are disjunctive cuts [3] Gomory mixed integer cuts [22] disjunctive cuts [2,9,24] and mixed integer rounding cuts [28] are equivalent[26] It is natural to ask which of these cuts are intrinsically different. This is the purpose of Supported by NSF grant ....

These cuts are known as Chv atal cuts [12] Let PC denote the corresponding elementary closure. 2. 2 Gomory fractional cuts and P F , PFB , PFBF In the pure case, Gomory [20,21, 23] introduced fractional cuts when the constraints are in equality form. Assume, without loss of generality, that A and b are integral. Note that P = fx 2 R n jAx bg can be equivalently expressed as P 0 = f(x# s) 2 R n m jAx s = b# s 0g. Let P 0 I = f(x# s) 2 Z n m jAx s = b# s ....

....travelling salesman problem, comb inequalities. 1 Introduction A wide variety of general purpose cutting planes (valid linear inequalities) have been proposed for integer and mixed integer programming over the years. These include, in historical order, Gomory s fractional and mixed integer cuts [15, 16]; the intersection cuts of Balas [1] the Chv atal Gomory cuts (see Chv atal [8] and Nemhauser Wolsey [24] the disjunctive cuts (see Balas [2] the split cuts of Cook, Kannan Schrijver [9] the MIR inequalities of Nemhauser Wolsey [25] the matrix cuts of Lov asz Schrijver [23] the ....

.... b bc, where 2 IR m is such that A 2 Z n and b c represents integer rounding downward. Obviously, we can require that b is not integral, because otherwise the CG cut will be dominated by the inequalities de ning P . The CG cuts are related to the classical fractional cuts of Gomory [15]. In fact it is often claimed that they are equivalent. However, this is not exactly true see [10] for a more precise statement. Indeed, we can de ne CG cuts even when variables are permitted to be negative, which is not the case for fractional cuts. The components of the vector used in the ....

....the separation problem is NP hard if and only if the original MILP is. However, if (x ; y ) is an extreme point of the current LP relaxation, which will be the case if the simplex method is being used, then cuts can be generated fairly easily. For example, one can use the cuts of Gomory [11], 12] or the disjunctive cuts of Balas, Ceria Cornu ejols [1] In general, cutting plane algorithms based on general purpose cuts such as Gomory or disjunctive cuts exhibit slow convergence. This can be alleviated somewhat by adding several cuts in one go before reoptimizing by dual ....

....1. Introduction Forty years have passed since Ralph Gomory suggested a series of algorithms for tackling linear integer programs. Gomory developed various methods of systematically generating valid inequalities directly from a given simplex tableau, initially working with the dual method, see [Gom58,Gom60], and [Glo67] This first type of algorithm solves a linear programming relaxation of the problem with the dual simplex method, and, as long as the optimal solution to the relaxation is not integral, adds cutting planes to the problem formulation and reoptimizes. The second type preserves both ....

....to I. Glicksberg of Rand for pointing out relations of this kind to us . An important class of problems (1) are the integer linear programming problems, where S is specified as the set of all integer solutions of some explicitly recorded system of linear constraints. For this class, Gomory [26 28] designed fast procedures for generating cuts from the optimal simplex basis (and proved that systematic use of these cuts makes the cutting plane method terminate) cuts generated by these procedures are called Gomory cuts. If an LP relaxation of a TSP instance includes all constraints (4) 5) ....

Gomory [8, 9, 10] developed a systematic way of generating valid inequalities directly from the given system and gave a first finite algorithm with an appropriate use of the dual simplex method to solve general integer programming problems.

....[48] and the maximum cut problem [27, 28] Junger et al. 63] contains a survey of cutting plane methods for various integer programming problems. Nemhauser and Wolsey [105] gives more background on cutting plane methods for integer programming problems. Traditionally, Gomory cutting planes [46] were used to improve the relaxation. These cuts are formed from the optimal tableau for the LP relaxation of the integer program. Cutting plane methods fell out of favour for many years because algorithms using Gomory cuts showed slow convergence. The resurgence of interest in these methods is ....

....belongs to S (see Fig. 3) It is crucial for this approach that the cutting planes which are generated are strong with respect to IR n (cf. Definition 3.1) In the best case, they should define facets of conv(S) or at least faces of sufficiently high dimension. Traditional Chv atal Gomory Cuts [Gom58] do not have this property. They converge much too slowly in order to be practically useful. In order to compute strong cutting planes with a reasonable effort, advanced techniques from polyhedral combinatorics are necessary, which will be described in the next section. Our paradigm for solving ....

....those which are tailored to particular problems, typically derived via polyhedral techniques; and there are those which are (more or less) general purpose, derived by algorithmic or algebraic techniques. In this second class we find, for example, the fractional and mixed integer cuts of Gomory [10, 11], the Chvatal Gomory cuts of Chvatal [7] the disjunctive cuts of Balas [2] and others, and the lift and project cuts of Lovasz Schrijver [15] and Balas et al. 4] This paper is concerned with a new and surprisingly simple technique for strengthening the Chvatal Gomory cuts (and the ....
