/* min01ks.mod - finding minimal equivalent 0-1 knapsack inequality */
/* Written in GNU MathProg by Andrew Makhorin <mao@gnu.org> */
/* It is obvious that for a given 0-1 knapsack inequality
a[1] x[1] + ... + a[n] x[n] <= b, x[j] in {0, 1} (1)
there exist infinitely many equivalent inequalities with exactly the same feasible solutions.
Given a[j]'s and b this model allows to find an inequality
alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] <= beta, x[j] in {0, 1}, (2)
which is equivalent to (1) and where alfa[j]'s and beta are smallest non-negative integers.
This model has the following formulation:
minimize
z = |alfa[1]| + ... + |alfa[n]| + |beta| = (3)
= alfa[1] + ... + alfa[n] + beta
subject to
alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] <= beta (4)
for all x satisfying to (1)
alfa[1] x[1] + ... + alfa[n] x[n] >= beta + 1 (5)
for all x not satisfying to (1)
alfa[1], ..., alfa[n], beta are non-negative integers.
Note that this model has n+1 variables and 2^n constraints.
It is interesting, as noticed in [1] and explained in [2], that in most cases LP relaxation of the MIP formulation above has integer optimal solution.
