Description

In this study, we first provide a polyhedral analysis of the p-cycle polytope which is the convex hull of the incidence vectors of all the p-cycles (simple cycles consisting of p arcs) of the complete directed graph. We present several families of facet-inducing inequalities for this polytope and discuss the separation problems associated with them. We then use our theoretical findings to implement a branch-and-cut code to solve the Traveling Circus Problem.
