Abstract

We construct a two-sided discontinuous piecewise linear minimal valid cut-generating 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 function only admits piecewise microperiodic perturbations. We present an algorithm for verifying certificates of non-extremality in the form of such perturbations.
