On the Chvátal rank of linear relaxations of the stable set polytope

Abstract:

We study the Chvátal rank of two linear relaxations of the stable set polytope, the edge constraint and the clique constraint stable set polytope. For some classes of graphs whose stable set polytope is given by 0/1-valued constraints only, we present either the exact value of the Chvátal rank or upper bounds (of the order of their largest cliques and stable sets), which improve the bounds previously known from the literature (of the order of the graph itself). © 2010 International Federation of Operational Research Societies.
