Abstract: This paper deals with algorithmic issues related to the design of an augmentation algorithm for general and 0/1-integer programs. We recall the approach of integer pivoting and introduce the family of Gomory-Young augmentation vectors that can be derived from a simplex
tableau.
Furthermore, a technique of combining Gomory-Young vectors and combinatorial augmentation vectors in one augmentation scheme is presented. Two computational experiments demonstrate the potential of pivoting in an integer fashion.
