Discrete optimization Linear programming

Linear programming, best way of solving discrete Optimization problem.. either exactly (when the solution can be found polynomially), or approximately, when NP-hard. There is a conjecture that is unproved, to show this.

In Figure 1 we provide a simple example showing that higher dimensional representations may require fewer inequalities
