On the complexity of recognizing integrality and total dual integrality of the {0,1/2}-closure

Abstract

The {0,12}-closure of a rational polyhedron {x:Ax≤b} is obtained by adding all Gomory-Chvátal cuts that can be derived from the linear system Ax≤b using multipliers in {0,12}. We show that deciding whether the {0,12}-closure coincides with the integer hull is strongly NP-hard. A direct consequence of our proof is that, testing whether the linear description of the {0,12}-closure derived from Ax≤b is totally dual integral, is strongly NP-hard.
