We investigate three competing notions that generalize the notion of a facet of finite-dimensional polyhedra to the infinite-dimensional Gomory-Johnson model. These notions were known to coincide for continuous piecewise linear functions…
In a recent paper, Basu, Hildebrand, and Molinaro established that the set of continuous minimal functions for the 1-dimensional Gomory-Johnson infinite group relaxation possesses a dense subset of extreme functions. The $n$-dimensional…

In this self-contained paper, we present a theory of the piecewise linear minimal valid functions for the 1-row Gomory-Johnson infinite group problem. The non-extreme minimal valid functions are those that admit effective perturbations. We…
We give an algorithm for testing the extremality of minimal valid functions for Gomory and Johnson's infinite group problem that are piecewise linear (possibly discontinuous) with rational breakpoints. This is the first set of necessary and…
For the one dimensional infinite group relaxation, we construct a sequence of extreme valid functions that are piecewise linear and such that for every natural number $k\geq 2$, there is a function in the sequence with $k$ slopes. This…
We construct a two-sided discontinuous piecewise linear minimal valid function for the 1-row Gomory--Johnson model which is not extreme, but which is not a convex combination of other piecewise linear minimal valid functions. The new…
We prove that any minimal valid function for the k-dimensional infinite group relaxation that is piecewise linear with at most k+1 slopes and does not factor through a linear map with non-trivial kernel is extreme. This generalizes a…
In this note we announce the availability of an electronic compendium of extreme functions for Gomory--Johnson's infinite group problem. These functions serve as the strongest cut-generating functions for integer linear optimization…
In Mathematical Programming 2003, Gomory and Johnson conjecture that the facets of the infinite group problem are always generated by piecewise linear functions. In this paper we give an example showing that the Gomory-Johnson conjecture is…
We study an abstract setting for cutting planes for integer programming called the infinite group problem. In this abstraction, cutting planes are computed via cut generating function that act on the simplex tableau. In this function space,…
We develop foundational tools for classifying the extreme valid functions for the k-dimensional infinite group problem. In particular, (1) we present the general regular solution to Cauchy's additive functional equation on bounded convex…
We study continuous (strongly) minimal cut generating functions for the model where all variables are integer. We consider both the original Gomory-Johnson setting as well as a recent extension by Cornu\'ejols and Y{\i}ld{\i}z. We show that…
We consider Gomory and Johnson's infinite group model with a single row. Valid inequalities for this model are expressed by valid functions and it has been recently shown that any valid function is dominated by some nonnegative valid…
This is a survey on the infinite group problem, an infinite-dimensional relaxation of integer linear optimization problems introduced by Ralph Gomory and Ellis Johnson in their groundbreaking papers titled "Some continuous functions related…

We study quantitative criteria for evaluating the strength of valid inequalities for Gomory and Johnson's finite and infinite group models and we describe the valid inequalities that are optimal for these criteria. We justify and focus on…
We show that the pointlike and the idempotent pointlike problems are reducible with respect to natural signatures in the following cases: the pseudovariety of all finite semigroups in which the order of every subgroup is a product of…
We describe new computer-based search strategies for extreme functions for the Gomory--Johnson infinite group problem. They lead to the discovery of new extreme functions, whose existence settles several open questions.
In this paper, we study extremal problems for coefficient functionals associated with a distinguished subclass of holomorphic semigroup generators, denoted by $\mathcal{A}_{\beta}$ ($0 \le \beta \le 1$), defined on the unit disk…
