In this paper we present two exact branch-and-cut algorithms for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem (SDVRP) based on two relaxed formulations that provide lower bounds to the optimum. Procedures to obtain feasible solutions to the SDVRP from a feasible solution to the relaxed...

Dynamic constraint aggregation (DCA) and dual variable stabilization (DVS) are two methods that can reduce the negative impact of degeneracy when solving linear programs. The first uses a projection to reduce the primal space whereas the second acts in the dual space. In this paper, we develop a...

Column generation for solving linear programs with a huge number of variables alternates between solving a master problem and a pricing subproblem to add variables to the master problem as needed. The method is known to often suffer from degeneracy in the master problem. Inspired by recent...
