چکیده

The corner polyhedron is described by minimal valid inequalities from maximal lattice-free convex sets. For the Relaxed Corner Polyhedron (RCP) with two free integer variables and any number of non-negative continuous variables, it is known that such facet defining inequalities arise from maximal lattice-free splits, triangles and quadrilaterals. We improve on the tightest known upper bound for the approximation of the RCP, purely by minimal valid inequalities from maximal lattice-free quadrilaterals, from 2 to 1.71. We generalize the tightest known lower bound of 1.125 for the approximation of the RCP, purely by minimal valid inequalities from maximal lattice-free triangles, to an infinite subclass of quadrilaterals.

Computing with Multi-Row Intersection Cuts

Cutting planes are one of the main techniques currently used to solve large-scale MixedInteger Linear Programming (MIP) models. Many important cuts used in practice, such as Gomory Mixed-Integer (GMI) cuts, are obtained by solving the linear relaxation of the MIP, extracting a single row of the simplex tableau, then applying integrality arguments to it. A natural extension, which has received r...

Cutting-Plane Separation Strategies for Semidefinite Programming Models to Solve the Single-Row Facility Layout Problem

The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) is concerned with finding the optimal linear placement of n departments with different lengths in a straight line. It is typically achieved by minimizing the cost associated with the interactions between the departments. The semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation model that incorporates cutting planes proposed recently by Anjos, Kennings, and Va...

Computing Globally Optimal Solutions for Single-Row Layout Problems Using Semidefinite Programming and Cutting Planes

This paper is concerned with the single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP). A globally optimal solution to the SRFLP is a linear placement of rectangular facilities with varying lengths that achieves the minimum total cost associated with the (known or projected) interactions between them. We demonstrate that the combination of a semidefinite programming relaxation with cutting planes is able ...

Cutting planes from extended LP formulations

Given a mixed-integer set defined by linear inequalities and integrality requirements on some of the variables, we consider extended formulations of its continuous (LP) relaxation and study the effect of adding cutting planes in the extended space. In terms of optimization, extended LP formulations do not lead to better bounds as their projection onto the original space is precisely the origina...

Cutting planes for integer programs with general integer variables

We investigate the use of cutting planes for integer programs with general integer variables. We show how cutting planes arising from knapsack inequalities can be generated and lifted as in the case of 0{1 variables. We also explore the use of Gomory's mixed integer cuts. We address both theoretical and computational issues and show how to embed these cutting planes in a branch-and-bound framew...
