چکیده

We provide a complete characterization of all polytopes P ⊆ [0,1]n with empty integer hull whose Gomory-Chvátal rank is n (and, therefore, maximal). In particular, we show that the first GomoryChvátal closure of all these polytopes is identical.

Lower Bounds for Chvátal-gomory Style Operators

Valid inequalities or cutting planes for (mixed-) integer programming problems are an essential theoretical tool for studying combinatorial properties of polyhedra. They are also of utmost importance for solving optimization problems in practice; in fact any modern solver relies on several families of cutting planes. The Chvátal-Gomory procedure, one such approach, has a peculiarity that differ...

We provide a family of polytopes P ⊆ [0, 1] whose Gomory-Chvátal rank is at least ((1 + 1/6)n− 4).

Lower bounds for the Chvátal-Gomory rank in the 0/1 cube

We revisit the method of Chvátal, Cook, and Hartmann to establish lower bounds on the Chvátal-Gomory rank and develop a simpler method. We provide new families of polytopes in the 0/1 cube with high rank and we describe a deterministic family achieving a rank of at least (1+ 1/e)n− 1> n. Finally, we show how integrality gaps lead to lower bounds.

On the Chvátal Rank of Polytopes in the 0/1 Cube

Given a polytope P⊆Rn, the Chv atal–Gomory procedure computes iteratively the integer hull PI of P. The Chv atal rank of P is the minimal number of iterations needed to obtain PI . It is always nite, but already the Chv atal rank of polytopes in R can be arbitrarily large. In this paper, we study polytopes in the 0=1 cube, which are of particular interest in combinatorial optimization. We show ...

Characterizing Polytopes Contained in the $0/1$-Cube with Bounded Chvátal-Gomory Rank

Let S ⊆ {0, 1} and R be any polytope contained in [0, 1] with R ∩ {0, 1} = S. We prove that R has bounded Chvátal-Gomory rank (CG-rank) provided that S has bounded pitch and bounded gap, where the pitch is the minimum integer p such that all p-dimensional faces of the 0/1-cube have a nonempty intersection with S, and the gap is a measure of the size of the facet coefficients of conv(S). Let H [...
