Description:
This paper introduces a scheme of deriving strong cutting planes for a general integer programming problem. The scheme is related to Chvatal-Gomory cutting planes and important special cases such as odd hole and clique inequalities for the stable set polyhedron or families of inequalities for the knapsack polyhedron. We analyze how relations between covering and incomparability numbers associated with the matrix can be used to bound coefficients in these inequalities. For the intersection of several knapsack polyhedra, incomparabilities between the column vectors of the associated matrix will be shown to transfer into inequalities of the associated polyhedron. Our scheme has been incorporated into the mixed integer programming code SIP. About experimental results will be reported.
