5 /* It is obvious that for a given 0-1 knapsack inequality
7 a[1] x[1] + ... + a[n] x[n] <= b, x[j] in {0, 1} (1)
9 there exist infinitely many equivalent inequalities with exactly the
10 same feasible solutions.
12 Given a[j]'s and b this model allows to find an inequality
14 alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] <= beta, x[j] in {0, 1}, (2)
16 which is equivalent to (1) and where alfa[j]'s and beta are smallest
17 non-negative integers.
19 This model has the following formulation:
23 z = |alfa[1]| + ... + |alfa[n]| + |beta| = (3)
25 = alfa[1] + ... + alfa[n] + beta
29 alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] <= beta (4)
31 for all x satisfying to (1)
33 alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] >= beta + 1 (5)
35 for all x not satisfying to (1)
37 alfa[1], ..., alfa[n], beta are non-negative integers.
39 Note that this model has n+1 variables and 2^n constraints.
41 It is interesting, as noticed in [1] and explained in [2], that
42 in most cases LP relaxation of the MIP formulation above has integer
