\Opgave 16 Adding slack variables we get z = 7 x1 + x2 4 x1 + x2 + x3 = 28 x1 + 4 x2 + x4 = 27 x1 - x2 + x5 = 1 Running the simplex algorithm one ends up with the equations 4 1 1 x1 = 5 - - - x3 - - x5 5 5 5 4 1 4 x2 = 4 - - - x3 - - x5 5 5 5 x4 = 2 + x3 - 3 x5 Deriving a gomory cut from the first fractional inequality 1 1 4 x1 + - x3 + - x5 = 5 - 5 5 5 we get the cut 1 1 4 - x3 + - x5 >= - 5 5 5 substituting the original variables x3 = 28 - 4 x1 - x2 x5 = 1 - x1 + x2 we get the valid inequality x1 <= 5 The original problem has LP-solution (5.8, 4.8) so the cut separates the present LP-solution. The objective value is 4.54. Adding the inequality to the problem, CPLEX finds the solution (5, 5.5) which has objective value 4.05. The integer-optimal solution is (5,5) with objective value 4.
