Abstract

Chvatal-Gomory and Gomory fractional cuts are well-known cutting planes for pure integer programming problems. Various methods for strengthening them are known, for example based on subadditive functions or disjunctive techniques. We present a new and surprisingly simple strengthening procedure, discuss its properties, and present some computational results.
