Origin and early evolution of corner polyhedra

European Journal of Operational Research, 2016, vol. 253, issue 3, 543-556

Abstract: Corner Polyhedra are a natural intermediate step between linear programming and integer programming. This paper first describes how the concept of Corner Polyhedra arose unexpectedly from a practical operations research problem, and then describes how it evolved to shed light on fundamental aspects of integer programming and to provide a great variety of cutting planes for integer programming.
