Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Chvátal-Gomory closure of a set obtained as an intersection of a strictly convex body and a rational polyhedron is a polyhedron. Thus, we generalize a result of Schrijver [Schrijver, A. 1980. On cutting planes. Ann. Discrete Math.9 291--296], which shows that the Chvátal-Gomory closure of a rational polyhedron is a polyhedron.
