Title: Valid inequalities and facets for a hypergraph model of the nonlinear knapsack and the FMS part selection problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:35924

This paper defines the dense subhypergraph problem (DSP), which provides a generalized modelling framework for the nonlinear knapsack problem and other well-known problems arising in areas such as capital budgeting, flexible manufacturing system production planning, repair-kit selection, and compiler construction. We define several families of valid inequalities and state conditions under which these inequalities are facet-defining for DSP. We also explore the polyhedral structure of the cardinality-constrained DSP. Finally, we examine a special case of this problem that arises, for example, within the context of Lagrangian decomposition. For this case, we present a complete description of the convex hull of the feasible region.
