Abstract

This paper deals with the 0/1 knapsack polytope. In particular, we introduce the class ofweight inequalities. This class of inequalities is needed to describe the knapsack polyhedron when the weights of the items lie in certain intervals. A generalization of weight inequalities yields the so-called “weight-reduction principle” and the class of extended weight inequalities. The latter class of inequalities includes minimal cover and (l,k)-configuration inequalities. The properties of lifted minimal cover inequalities are extended to this general class of inequalities.
