چکیده

Recently Schrijver’s open problem, whether the Chvátal-Gomory closure of an irrational polytope is polyhedral was answered independently in the seminal works of Dadush et al. [2011] and Dunkel and Schulz [2010]; the former even applies to general compact convex sets. We present a very short, easily accessible proof.

The Chvátal-Gomory Closure of an Ellipsoid Is a Polyhedron

It is well-know that the Chvátal-Gomory (CG) closure of a rational polyhedron is a rational polyhedron. In this paper, we show that the CG closure of a bounded full-dimensional ellipsoid, described by rational data, is a rational polytope. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first extension of the polyhedrality of the CG closure to a nonpolyhedral set. A key feature of the proof is to ver...

On the Chvátal-Gomory Closure of a Compact Convex Set

In this paper, we show that the Chvátal-Gomory closure of any compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question of Schrijver [17] for irrational polytopes1, and generalizes the same result for the case of rational polytopes [17], rational ellipsoids [8] and strictly convex bodies [7].

Stable sets, corner polyhedra and the Chvátal closure

In this work, we consider a classical formulation of the stable set problem. We characterize its corner polyhedron, i.e. the convex hull of the points satisfying all the constraints except the non-negativity of the basic variables. We show that the non-trivial inequalities necessary to describe this polyhedron can be derived from one row of the simplex tableau as fractional Gomory cuts. It foll...

The Gomory-Chvatal Closure: Polyhedrality, Complexity, and Extensions

In this thesis, we examine theoretical aspects of the Gomory-Chvital closure of polyhedra. A Gomory-Chvital cutting plane for a polyhedron P is derived from any rational inequality that is valid for P by shifting the boundary of the associated half-space towards the polyhedron until it intersects an integer point. The Gomory-ChvAital closure of P is the intersection of all half-spaces defined b...

The split closure of a strictly convex body

The Chvátal-Gomory closure and the split closure of a rational polyhedron are rational polyhedra. It was recently shown that the Chvátal-Gomory closure of a strictly convex body is also a rational polytope. In this note, we show that the split closure of a strictly convex body is defined by a finite number of split disjunctions, but is not necessarily polyhedral. We also give a closed form expr...
