....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.

We use the Chv atal Gomory rounding procedure to prove the statement. In fact, [Gom60], and later [Chv73] and [Sch80] have shown that there exists a finite number t 0 such that P I = P t 0 .

For quite a long time, Gomory cutting planes [G60] have been and still are the main ingredient for current cutting plane implementations. The situation changes when we restrict our attention to general mixed 0 1 programming problems, i.e. problems for which all integer variables are bounded by zero and one. For such problems, the disjunctive ....

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.

Integer linear programming is known to be NP hard [9] Most existing ILP Solvers such as cutting plane e.g. [10] and branch and bound methods e.g. 7] are based on linear programming (LP) 8] The difference of our problem definition (see Fig. 1) to ILP consists of the fact that we have involved no objective function.

....method is very efficient for integer linear programming problems. There are two principal approachs for solving an integer linear programming problem (ILP) the cutting plane methods and the branch and bound methods. The cutting plane method was developed at the end of the 1950 s by Gomory [5] [6] and [7] to solve integer linear programs with the simplex method. It s known that the Gomory s cutting plane method terminates in a finite time for solving an integer linear programming, but in practice, the cutting plane method turns out to be time and memory consuming. A simple cutting plane ....

....the basic theoretical aspects of polyhedral techniques and to indicate the computational potential. A natural question that arises when studying the work by Dantzig, Fulkerson and Johnson is whether it is possible to develop an algorithm for identifying valid inequalities. This question was answered by Gomory (1958) 1960), 1963) who developed a cutting plane algorithm for general integer linear programming, and showed that the integer programming problem (1) can be solved by solving a finite sequence of linear programs. Chv atal (1973) proved that all inequalities necessary to describe the convex hull of integer ....
