Is there a way to calcuate the maximum number of cuts in a Benders decomposition?

Since the benders algorithm is finite, there a maximum number of cuts that could theoretically be added. The worst case is that I add cuts for all extreme points and all extreme rays that are part of ...

Deriving a valid inequality

Given a set of facilities $I$ and days $J$, each facility $i \in I$ has a capacity of $C_i$, and a set of days $J$ where in each day $j \in J$ there's a total demand of $q_j$ that can be satisfied by ...

why the -1 in basis column for simplex tableau?

When I look at the tableau generated by Gurobi for a simple 3D problem with five constraints, I get this: I expected to not have a -1 in basis columns 4, 5, 6 (referring to slack variables 1, 2, 3 if ...

In Benders Decomposition, do you add an optimality cut together with a feasibility cut?

in the process of implementing my first BD algorithm, I am unsure how to proceed in the case that the subproblem is unbounded. Obviously, it means you get an extreme ray that you can add to the RMP as ...

Knapsack Constraint

Is the following expression a knapsack constraint? $ \sum_i a(i) y(i) \ge W$, where $y(i)$ binaries, $a(i),W$ reals. What confuses me is the $\ge$ sign. Alternatively, do solvers generate cuts out of ...
