In a covering integer program (CIP), we seek an n-vector x of nonnegative integers, which minimizes c T โข x, subject to Ax ยฟ b, where all entries of A; b; c are nonnegative. In their most general form, CIPs include also multiplicity constraints of the type x 6 d, i.e., arbitrarily large integers are
