چکیده
We investigate several complexity issues related to branch and cut algorithms for integer programming based on lifted cover inequalities LCIs We show that given a fractional point determining a violated LCI over all minimal covers is NP hard The main result is that there exists a class of knapsack instances for which any branch and cut algorithm based on LCIs has to evaluate an exponential number of nodes to prove optimality

Lifted flow cover inequalities for mixed 0-1 integer programs
We investigate strong inequalities for mixed 0-1 integer programs derived from flow cover inequalities. Flow cover inequalities are usually not facet defining and need to be lifted to obtain stronger inequalities. However, because of the sequential nature of the standard lifting techniques and the complexity of the optimization problems that have to be solved to obtain lifting coefficients, lif...

متن کاملLifted Cover Inequalities for 0-1 Integer Programs: Complexity
We investigate several complexity issues related to branch-and-cut algorithms for 0-1 integer programming based on lifted cover inequalities (LCIs). We show that given a fractional point, determining a violated LCI over all minimal covers is NP-hard. The main result is that there exists a class of 0-1 knapsack instances for which any branch-and-cut algorithm based on LCIs has to evaluate an exp...

متن کاملSimple lifted cover inequalities and hard knapsack problems
We consider a class of random knapsack instances described by Chvátal, who showed that with probability going to 1, such instances require an exponential number of branch-and-bound nodes. We show that even with the use of simple lifted cover inequalities, an exponential number of nodes is required with probability going to 1. It is not surprising that there exist integer programming (IP) instan...
