Abstract

We discuss an open source implementation and preliminary computational testing of three variants of the Balas-Perregaard procedure for generating lift-and-project cuts from the original simplex tableau, two of which are new. Variant 1 is the original procedure of [6] with minor modifications. Variant 2 uses a new procedure for choosing the pivot element: After identifying the set of row candidates for an improving pivot, the pivot element (and column) is chosen by optimizing over the entries of all candidate rows. Finally, Variant 3 replaces the source row with its disjunctive modularization, and after each pivot it again modularizes the resulting source row. We report on computational results with the above three variants and their combinations on 65 MIPLIB.3 instances.
