Abstract
The knapsack problem with conflicting items arises in several real-world applications. We propose a family of strong cutting planes and prove that a subfamily of these cuts can be facet-defining. Computational experiments show that the proposed cuts are very effective in reducing integrality gaps, providing dual bounds up to 78% tighter than formulations strengthened with traditional combinatorial cuts. We also show that it is possible to adapt a recently proposed lifting procedure to further strengthen the proposed cuts.
