Abstract

The Chvatal-Gomory procedure, to compute the integer hull of a

polyhedron, can be used to prove unsatisfiability of propositional
formulas. The procedure then delivers a so called cutting plane proof
of the unsatisfiability. The length of such a cutting plane proof is
connected to the Chvatal rank of the underlying Polytope.
In this talk I will introduce the subject and present some
observations I came across.
