Abstract
We show how to efficiently model binary constraint problems (BCP) as integer programs. After considering tree-structured BCPs first, we show that a Sherali-Adams-like procedure results in a polynomial-size linear programming description of the convex hull of all integer feasible solutions when the BCP that is given has bounded tree-width.
