We study the mixed-integer knapsack polyhedron, that is, the convex hull of the mixed-integer set defined by an arbitrary linear inequality and the bounds on the variables. We describe facet-defining inequalities of this polyhedron that can be obtained through sequential lifting of inequalities containing a single integer variable. These inequalities strengthen and/or generalize known inequalities for several special cases. We report computational results on using the inequalities as cutting planes for mixed-integer programming.
