Crowder et al. (Oper. Res. 31 (1983) 803–834) conjectured that the separation problem for cover inequalities for binary integer programs is polynomially solvable. We show that the general problem is NP-hard but a special case is solvable in linear time. c 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
