Valid Inequalities Based on Simple Mixed-Integer Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we use facets of simple mixed-integer sets with three variables to derive a parametric family of valid inequalities for general mixed-integer sets. We call these inequalities two-step MIR inequalities as they can be derived by applying the simple mixed-integer rounding (MIR) principle of Wolsey (1998) twice. The two-step MIR inequalities define facets of the master cyclic group polyhedron of Gomory (1969). In addition, they dominate the strong fractional cuts of Letchford and Lodi (2002).

Strong formulations for mixed integer programs: valid inequalities and extended formulations
We examine progress over the last fifteen years in finding strong valid inequalities and tight extended formulations for simple mixed integer sets lying both on the “easy” and “hard” sides of the complexity frontier. Most progress has been made in studying sets arising from knapsack and single node flow sets, and a variety of sets motivated by different lot-sizing models. We conclude by citing ...
متن کاملLifting 2-integer knapsack inequalities
In this paper we discuss the generation of strong valid inequalities for (mixed) integer knapsack sets based on lifting of valid inequalities for basic knapsack sets with two integer variables (and one continuous variable). The description of the basic polyhedra can be made in polynomial time. We use superadditive valid functions in order to obtain sequence independent lifting.
متن کاملMingling: mixed-integer rounding with bounds
Mixed-integer rounding (MIR) is a simple, yet powerful procedure for generating valid inequalities for mixed-integer programs. When used as cutting planes, MIR inequalities are very effective for mixed-integer programming problems with unbounded integer variables. For problems with bounded integer variables, however, cutting planes based on lifting techniques appear to be more effective. This i...
متن کاملTwo-Step MIR Inequalities for Mixed Integer Programs
Two-step MIR inequalities are valid inequalities derived from a facet of a simple mixedinteger set with three variables and one constraint. In this paper we investigate how to effectively use these inequalities as cutting planes for general mixed-integer problems. We study the separation problem for single constraint sets and show that it can be solved in polynomial time when the resulting ineq...
متن کاملValid inequalities for mixed integer linear programs
This tutorial presents a theory of valid inequalities for mixed integer linear sets. It introduces the necessary tools from polyhedral theory and gives a geometric understanding of several classical families of valid inequalities such as lift-and-project cuts, Gomory mixed integer cuts, mixed integer rounding cuts, split cuts and intersection cuts, and it reveals the relationships between these...
