Abstract: Different formulation for SSCWLP and TSCWLP has been given to develop variety of constraints that link real and 0-1 integer variables. Empirically Benders decomposition is more effective for solving strong formulation of SSCWLP and gives better bounds of SSCWLP. After relaxing the associated flow balance constraints in TSCWLP, Three different versions of CPLP referred as RHS_CPLP, MID_CPLP and LHS_CPLP can be found. MID_CPLP is reduced to RHS_CPLP and single constraint 0-1 Knapsack problem by relaxing a difficult constraint.
