Abstract

In this paper we consider a variant of the betweenness prob- lem occurring in computational biology. We present a new polyhedral approach which incorporates the solution of consecutive ones problems and show that it supersedes an earlier one. A particular feature of this new branch-and-cut algorithm is that it is not based on an explicit integer programming formulation of the problem and makes use of automatically generated facet-defining inequalities.
