The cut polyhedron cut(G) of an undirected graph G = (V,E) is the dominant of the convex hull of all of its nonempty edge cutsets. After examining various compact extended formulations for cut(G), we study some of its polyhedral properties. In particular, we characterize all of the facets...

We present a branch-and-cut algorithm to solve the single commodity uncapacitated fixed charge network flow problem, which includes the Steiner tree problem, uncapacitated lot-sizing problems, and the fixed charge transportation problem as special cases. The cuts used are simple dicut...

This survey presents cutting planes that are useful or potentially useful in solving mixed integer programs. Valid inequalities for i) general integer programs, ii) problems with local structure such as knapsack constraints, and iii) problems with 0-1 coefficient matrices, such as set packing,...

We study a family of unbounded polyhedra arising in the study of uncapacitated lot-sizing problems with Wagner-Whitin costs. With n the number of periods, we completely characterize the bounded faces of maximal dimension, and derice an O(n^2) alogorithm to express within the polyhedron as a...
