Generalized Upper Bound (GUB) Cover CutsA GUB constraint for a set of binary variables is a sum of variables less than or equal to one.If the variables in a GUB constraint are also members of a knapsack constraint, then theminimal cover can be selected with the additional consideration that at most one of themembers of the GUB constraint can be one in a solution. This additional restriction makesthe GUB cover cuts stronger (that is, more restrictive) than ordinary cover cuts.Implied Bound CutsIn some models, binary variables imply bounds on continuous variables. <strong>ILOG</strong> <strong>CPLEX</strong>generates potential cuts to reflect these relationships.Mixed Integer Rounding (MIR) CutsMIR cuts are generated by applying integer rounding on the coefficients of integer variablesand the righthand side of a constraint.Zero-Half CutsZero-half cuts are based on the observation that when the lefthand side of an inequalityconsists of integral variables and integral coefficients, then the righthand side can berounded down to produce a zero-half cut. To understand how zero-half cuts are generated,consider these two constraints over five integer variables with integer coefficients:x1 + 2x2 + x3 + 3x4
