Polyhedral results for the Equitable Coloring Problem (1106.3349v1)

Abstract: In this work we study the polytope associated with a 0/1 integer programming formulation for the Equitable Coloring Problem. We find several families of valid inequalities and derive sufficient conditions in order to be facet-defining inequalities. We also present computational evidence of the effectiveness of including these inequalities as cuts in a Branch & Cut algorithm.
