    Understanding cutting planes and how to make use of them

    The main idea behind cutting planes or valid inequalities is to cut a region in the feasible space of the LP relaxation, without eliminating any feasible integer solutions. Ideally, we aim to arriv...

    How do I distinguish a weak MIP formulation?

    In theoryA strong MIP formulation is one where the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation provides a tight approximation to the convex hull of the integer feasible solutions. The closer the LP relaxati...

    General guidelines to strengthen a MIP formulation

    Solving a MIP is NP-hard. It can happen that small or seemingly "easy" instances require a long time to solve, or even to find a feasible solution. Occasionally, a lot of the difficulty in the solv...
