N2 - Valid inequalities for the knapsack polytope have proven to be very useful in exact algorithms for mixed-integer linear programming. In this paper, we focus on the knapsack cover inequalities, introduced in 2000 by Carr and co-authors. In general, these inequalities can be rather weak. To strengthen them, we use lifting. Since exact lifting can be time-consuming, we present two fast approximate lifting procedures. The first procedure is based on mixed-integer rounding, whereas thesecond uses superadditivity.
