摘要:
We study the use of binary variables in reformulating general mixed integer linear programs We show that binary reformulations result in problems for which almost all the binary variables replacing a general integer variable need to be explored during branching We also give computational results on the performance of such reformulations in solving the mixed integer programs which support our theoretical results.
