Lifting Cover Inequalities for the Binary Knapsack Polytope
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the family of facets of the binary knapsack polytope from minimal covers. We study previous results on sequential lifting in a unifying framework and explore a class of most violated fractional lifted cover inequalities, defined by Balas and Zemel, which are more general than traditional simple lifted cover inequalities. We investigate some theoretical properties of these inequalities, propose two separation algorithms and illustrate these using several examples.

Facets of the Complementarity Knapsack Polytope
We present a polyhedral study of the complementarity knapsack problem. Traditionally, complementarity constraints are modeled by introducing auxiliary binary variables and additional constraints, and the model is tightened by introducing strong inequalities valid for the resulting MIP. We use an alternative approach, in which we keep in the model only the continuous variables, and we tighten th...
متن کاملSimultaneously lifting sets of binary variables into cover inequalities for knapsack polytopes
Cover inequalities are commonly used cutting planes for the 0–1 knapsack problem. This paper describes a linear-time algorithm (assuming the knapsack is sorted) to simultaneously lift a set of variables into a cover inequality. Conditions for this process to result in valid and facet-defining inequalities are presented. In many instances, the resulting simultaneously lifted cover inequality can...
متن کاملSequence independent lifting for 0−1 knapsack problems with disjoint cardinality constraints
In this paper, we study the set of 0−1 integer solutions to a single knapsack constraint and a set of non-overlapping cardinality constraints (MCKP). This set is a generalization of the traditional 0− 1 knapsack polytope and the 0− 1 knapsack polytope with generalized upper bounds. We derive strong valid inequalities for the convex hull of its feasible solutions by lifting the generalized cover...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Lifted Inequalities for the Knapsack Problem
Hartvigsen, D. and E. Zemel, The complexity of lifted inequalities for the knapsack problem, Discrete Applied Mathematics 39 (1992) 11. 123. It is well known that one can obtain facets and valid inequalities for the knapsack polytope by lifting simple inequalities associated with minimal covers. We study the complexity of lifting. We show that recognizing integral lifted facets or valid inequal...
متن کاملLifting valid inequalities for the precedence constrained knapsack problem
This paper considers the precedence constrained knapsack problem. More speci cally, we are interested in classes of valid inequalities which are facet-de ning for the precedence constrained knapsack polytope. We study the complexity of obtaining these facets using the standard sequential lifting procedure. Applying this procedure requires solving a combinatorial problem. For valid inequalities ...
