TY - GEN A1 - Borndörfer, Ralf A1 - Weismantel, Robert T1 - Discrete Relaxations of Combinatorial Programs N2 - This paper investigates {\em relations\/} among combinatorial optimization problems. To establish such relations we introduce a transformation technique \mbox{---{\em aggregation}---} that allows to relax an integer program by means of another integer program. We prove that various families of prominent inequalities for the acyclic subdigraph problem, the multiple knapsack problem, the max cut, graph, and the clique partitioning problem, the set covering problem, and the set packing problem can be derived and separated in polynomial time in this way. Our technique is algorithmic. It has been implemented and used in a set partitioning code.
