Abstract

This paper studies two polytopes: the complete set packing and set partitioning polytopes, which are both associated with a binary n-row matrix having all possible columns. Cuts of rank 1 for the latter polytope play a central role in recent exact algorithms for many combinatorial problems, such as vehicle routing. We show the precise relation between the two polytopes studied, characterize the multipliers that induce rank 1 clique facets and give several families of multipliers that yield other facets.
