In this paper we survey the basic features of state-of-the-art branch-and-cut algorithms for the solution of general mixed integer programming problems. In particular we focus on p...
During the last decades, much research has been conducted deriving classes of valid inequalities for single-row mixed integer programming polyhedrons. However, no such class has ha...
Mixed-Integer Programs (MIP's) involving logical implications modelled through big-M coefficients, are notoriously among the hardest to solve. In this paper we propose and an...
We study the convex hull of the feasible set of the semi-continuous knapsack problem, in which the variables belong to the union of two intervals. Besides being important in its o...
This is a summary of the main results presented in the author's PhD thesis, supervised by D. Conforti and P. Beraldi and defended on March 2005. The thesis, written in English...
